Does this disinfect water as welll...as the 2% "red" does?

have no idea about that - but it worked as well as the colored for everything I tried

My understanding is it is the same as red iodine. Only uncolored so you don't see it.

God, no! It contains ammonia, you'll end up with disinfected ammonia water. I believe it is the ammonia which "decolorizes" it. The bottle contains elemental iodine (which is red), potassium iodide (colorless), water (colorless), alcohol and ammonia. The ammonia will react with the elemental iodine to form ammonium iodide, a clolorless substance. The resulting combination is colorless, aka "decolorized".

YES, unless you have a very large hand, I do exactly that from time to time. However if you use distilled water as we do, it seldom needs to be wiped out. We are very pleased with our unit, we use it most of the time and find it to be effective and inexpensive to use. I definitely recommend this product ... ALL Pro's and NO Con's

NO. The wavelength is far from the range necessary to disinfect, and the output is weak; both factors (as well as time of exposure) are critical for disinfection.

I have used it every day for 2 months months and there has been no discoloration. The water in the tube does not get very dark.

not really. I taste more of the water's impurities or elements than the bottle itself if left in there for a while (several days)

I haven't noticed that; however, I only use a vinegar/water combo in the bottle since I'm using this mop for our wood floors. I've kept the same solution in the bottle and have had the mop for a few months now.

I found when I didn't use distiller water, sediment would build up, overheat and the red light would appear. After switching to distiller water, as the manual suggests, I didn't have that problem anymore.

Yes, its a very fine mist though. You're not suppose to use filtered or distilled water. If I accidentally use filtered water I can't see anything.

My best guess is yes it does. This sanitizer is basically food grade phosphoric acid. If you absolutely want to get rid of every living organism and be sure of it, use hot water and bleach solution. 1 tablespoon bleach and 1 gallon water should do it, just make sure you give it a nice good and long rinse afterward with boiling water. Or just use star san and not rinse at all. :)

Definitely!! Great cleaning power, works as a disinfectant, easy and pleasant to use. I recommend it.

Total disssolved solids increasing after using the same water both times makes no sense. Have you used other waters before and got same results an increase after the purifier? Have you contacted the manufactuer with questions? You have to eliminate the distilled water first off as the problem and see if it does it with all waters. Surely you are not consuming distilled water on a regular basis?

RO does not remove dissolved gases from the water so will not remove free ammonia. The ammonia in most waters will be combined so will be removed.

I can tell you that the green one leaves streaks on windows and works about as good as plain water on other surfaces. Haven't tried the others.

I agree with the others, we haven't had a problem with ours either. We are on well water, so when we get that smell from the sink, we know it's time to disinfect the well.

No it is not 35% H2O2, it is actually only 17.5% because it has been diluted. After a tip from someone I looked Closely on the back of the label and in a VERY SMALL AREA in the dark blue label with VERY VERY SMALL Letters in Very Light Blue Letters it actually states "35& H2o2 with Distilled Water 17.5%" These Letters are barely 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch high and hardly noticeable at all. I would not have ever seen them if not for The Tip from a Private Source.

I have a septic tank and have been using Method cleaner. There has not been a problem.

Yes. You must follow the dilution instructions exactly. Use in addition to your regular carpet cleaning solution. This disinfectant is very strong. Less is more.
