disinfectant in Switzerland

**bathtub** · 16th November 2006, 12:42

Crappy question guys- living in Switzerland now, and no sign of good old Dettol for disinfecting

- can anyone reccomend a Swiss disinfectant and dosing level they use (yum disinfectant mouth for an hour otherwise)....
Appreciate the help (or Danke !)

in your area there are several dive shops who sell rebreathers (inspo, dräger and ida), why not to ask them ?

Try any of the Scuba Shops, Aarau oder Villeneuve, and they might be able to help you. I am pretty sure they sell EW-80 disinfectant. A bottle of that stuff is not cheap, but it will last forever.

even if françis from villeneuve is a pal, there are many other dive shops which are nearer from where you live. in the area around zug and zurich I've counted at least 12 of them and as already said many sell or teach rebreathers!

if you still don't find, pm me!

No worries: The Dettol line of products is called Sagrotan in German-speaking countries. What you want is Sagrotan Konzentrat. You should be able to get that in Switzerland. Here's their website: Sagrotan Hygienische Reinigung & Desinfektion

On the other hand, I have seen Dettol being used in Slovenia and the Maldives, among other places. It should be possible to get it shipped to Switzerland, if you are a very brand-conscious chap or just want that warm feeling of home ;-)

By the way bathtub, sorry I didn't reply to your PM yet, didn't have time yet and have to go now! You'll hear from me tomorrow.

HELPI

This is a link to a site selling EW80. It's great stuf used by public services for breathing equipment

It indeed lasts forever and the Swiss price tag is allready on it. I sure hope you have a German speaking collegue or friend available to guide you through the German site and ordering process.

Get a look to the SCUBASEPT website, I'm using it since 2002; really a great product.
I think in Italy it is sold by Mares.

Hi,

I am using VIRKON which is probably one of the best, see the Canadian Navy study. In switzerland you can get it through a vet if you know one or directly from the importator Arovet. Cost around CHF60 for 1Kg which will last a looooonnnng time...
