Systems and methods for using solid high-level disinfection chemistries to producing disinfectant solutions. In an embodiment, an apparatus comprises: a first container and a second container. The first container is configured to receive water, sodium percarbonate and tetraacetylethylenediamine. The water, the sodium percarbonate, the tetraacetylethylenediamine react within the first container to produce a mixture comprising peroxyacetic acid. The second container is in fluid communication with the first container, wherein the second container is configured to receive an acid and the mixture. The mixture and the acid mix in the second container to produce a disinfectant solution having a pH between 5.0 and 7.0.

A floating sports equipment pool chlorinating system dispenses a sanitizing chemical into a body of water for sanitizing water. The system includes a sports equipment-shaped housing, possibly shaped as a helmet or ball. The housing has an outer and inner shell arranged in a spaced-apart relationship. The space between the shells is filled with a closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam, like Styrofoam, which enables the housing to float. The inner shell forms a cavity that is sized and dimensioned to receive and retain a sanitizing chemical, such as a chlorine tablet. The shell has a top region that forms a slot, a bottom region that forms multiple outlet holes, a front region that forms a front opening. All the slots, holes, and openings are in fluid communication with the cavity. The top region of shell, has a spherical shape sufficiently large to enable wind to carry the housing across the water.

The present invention provides systems and methods for treating agricultural particulates, such as buds, Cannabis buds, herbs, leaves, and the like, with a treatment agent, such as steam, as the agricultural products move forward along a pathway created by a conveyer, in a chamber, enclosed by an aligned ceiling and floor, and oppositely disposed lateral walls. The exposure times to the steam, created by the intervals and lengths in which steam enters the chamber results in the elimination (destruction) and/or neutralization of the pathogens on the agricultural particulates, while the agricultural particulates remain undamaged and active.
