Reason for the sudden interest in HOCl/ Electrolyzed water?

Actually, Hypochlorous Acid had been in use for decades, right from the time Chlorine gas was discovered to kill microorganisms. Chlorine Gas, that is Cl2, when injected in water (H2O), forms HOCl. This Hypochlorous Acid is what kills the bacteria. Hypochlorous Acid is called by different names such as Electrolyzed Water, Slightly Acidic Electrolyzed Water, Electrolyzed Oxidizing Water, Electro-activated Water, Electro-chemically Activated Water Solution, Hypochlorous Solution. Irrespective of which of these names are used, the power to disinfect and the many advantages remain the same.
