Water disinfection is important in wide range of applications, like in laboratory, swimming pools and drinking water supplies. There are two major ways to disinfect water: UV radiation for laboratories and smaller drinking water supplies, and Chlorine treatment for swimming pools and larger water supplies. Here, we are trying to find out if there is any common mechanism between UV radiation and Chlorine water disinfection processes. By applying the Resonant Recognition Model (RRM), we have found out, here, that there is a possibility for Chlorine chemical reaction to be based on resonant energy transfer and that this resonant energy transfer is at the specific wavelength range same as UV radiation wavelength range used for water disinfection. These results are giving new perspective to possibility that molecular interactions/chemical reactions are based on resonant energy transfer at specific wavelength, which determines the specificity of their activity and not on their aggregate state. We postulate that interaction of particular chemical with surrounding structures is based on electromagnetic energy transfer between interacting entities.
