1. A method for accelerating remediation of at least one pathogen resistant to chlorine in water of an aquatic facility, the method comprising:
calculating a chlorine dioxide concentration time (Ct) value of the water in real time by a programmable controller;
activating chemical feed systems by the programmable controller so that the chemical feed systems deliver an acid, an oxidizer and a chlorite ion donor to a conduit connected to the water;
allowing the acid, the oxidizer and the chlorite ion donor to react in the conduit and form chlorine dioxide; and
supplying the chlorine dioxide from the conduit to the water; and
sustaining a chlorine dioxide concentration in the water until a targeted chlorine dioxide Ct value of the water is reached to achieve remediation of the water, wherein the remediation is at least a 3-log reduction of the at least one pathogen resistant to the chlorine in the water.
