2. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the water supply system is a swimming or bathing pool unit.
3. The method as claimed in claim 2, with the following steps:
(1) setting up a closed circuit between the outlet of the overflow water tank and the inlet immediately before the clean water enters the swimming or bathing pool, (2) adding a predetermined amount of a disinfecting agent in the form of an aqueous rinsing solution containing chlorine oxide, halogen and/or peroxide, for sterilization and cleaning, (3) sterilizing and cleaning the pipes, filters and filter materials contained in the system, including filter carbon with or without adsorptive properties, while periodically circulating the rinsing solution in the closed circuit at defined time intervals, (4) discharging and disposing of the aqueous rinsing solution, and (5) re-establishing the original water circuit.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the water supply system is a hot tub, in particular a hot whirlpool or a whirl tub.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the water supply system is a drinking water supply system in a household installation, in particular a shower system.
6. The method as claimed in claim 5, characterized by the formation of a closed circuit in step (1) between the hot water boiler and the shower head.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the water supply system is a process water treatment system in the industrial sector.
8. The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the circulation according to step (3) is carried out in a privileged direction or alternately in one of the two directions.
9. The method as claimed in at least one of the claims, characterized in that the rinsing solution is circulated from a few minutes to a several hours, in particular about 3 to 12 h, in which case the circulation may be interrupted one or more times.
10. A method for sterilization and cleaning of water supply systems and areas, especially in treatment units, pipe systems and swimming and bathing pool units, with the following steps:
