Good Afternoon Maram, Using ...

Good Afternoon Maram,

Using silver as a "bacteriastat" has been around for hundreds of years.  When silversmiths first put water into silver chalices and silver pitchers, they learned that bacteria would not readily form.   The settlers traveling from the east coast of the U.S. to unknown lands in the west dropped their silverware into the water barrels on their Conestoga wagons to help preserve water.  You may know of silver impregnated GAC filters and there are swimming pools using silver copper electrodes for discharging these heavy metals into water.

Silver is leached into the water, it coats the bug, and it either dies or is prevented from replicating.  Note the term "bacteria'stat' ".  The stat means that if there are 50 bugs passing through a filter you get 50 out...not 51.  The EPA limitation for silver leaching is 50 ppb .  Back in the '70's, a company produced a silver impregnated GAC filter that leached heavy concentrations of silver.  The Client's sclera (white part of the eye) and pink portions under the fingernail turned slate blue.  This heavy metaled disease caused by silver is called argyria.

Aquathin produces group of filters with "encapsulated silver ion"  into the filtration media for antimicrobial treatment.  It is extremely effective including destruction of cholera.  These filters have been extensively used in rural Sub-Sahara and Caribbean for 20 years.  Because of the method of integration and encapsulating, silver ion is not leached.

Warmest regards,
