ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method of killing bacteria or inhibiting growth of bacteria especially in a potable water supply or a hot water supply for personal washing purposes, comprising subjecting the water to an electrostatic effect of sufficient intensity to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria, and a device for carrying out the method; said device being preferably located in the elbow of a water pipe so as to extend along an adjacent pipe length. It comprises a cylindrical collar mounted on the exterior of ducting means and preferably at an elbow region with said collar having a passage therethrough and leading to a passage in the ducting means, an elongate tubular housing, preferably of polypropylene, closed at one end and having at its other end, a flange abutting against the shoulder of the collar via the intermediary of sealing means, and a close fitting electrode, preferably of solid copper or brass, insertable into said housing via the opening of the collar and having terminal means for connection to a high voltage source which is also connectable to the ducting means to provide an electrostatic field in the water and a current flow of a few milli- amps.
