Why we do what we do
At Hydrachem, we’re fanatical about clean drinking water, appreciating its indispensable importance in preserving and sustaining human life.
However, water can lose its way and become a virulent breeding ground for unwelcome micro-organisms spreading contamination, disease and suffering, which is why we need to protect our planet’s most precious resource.
Hydrachem has 50 years experience in water purification, surface disinfection and sterilising. A proud UK business with global footprint, working closely with NGOs to keep dwindling water supplies free from life-threatening, waterborne diseases, and with market-leading healthcare institutions, including the NHS, to keep healthcare facilities free from contamination.
What we do here
From our rural Sussex, UK location, we manufacture effervescent chlorine tablets which are sold all over the world.
Established in 1973, we are experts in tableting technology and partner with global brands to formulate, manufacture and export our tablets in markets across the globe.
We make 10 billion litres of water safe to drink each year
We believe that no-one should have to drink dirty water from old fizzy pop bottles. By partnering with world-leading charities and governments, we are able to provide millions of people with access to the most basic of human rights, clean drinking water.
It's all about the water
Our tablets have the power to transform water into something life-saving, and our tablets allow water to be carefully preserved and left in the ground until the moment it is actually needed.
For us, it has always been about the water.
Sustainability
Sustainability is important to us and we are always striving to reduce our impact on the environment.
