The results show that Ambiorix behaves differently from conventional chelates, which show a steeper decline in UV transmittance as iron concentration increases. At higher concentrations, Ambiorix allows up to 30% more UV to pass through, delivering a higher UV dose and improving disinfection efficiency.

Consequently, Ambiorix is less likely to limit the effectiveness of UV disinfection, while also significantly lowering iron‑related decline in UV performance. With conventional chelates, monitoring UV transmittance at higher iron levels may be necessary.

During the trial, Ambiorix delivered additional benefits over alternative products. It kept the tubing and pressure regulators clean, with visibly reduced buildup in the regulators and irrigation lines.
