SILVER IONIZATION SYSTEMS FOR WATER
A Silver is effective because of its capabilities of interfering with DNA production and accelerating the death phase of bacteria and viruses. Copper ions have the ability to pierce the protective outer membrane of a cell and disrupt enzyme balance thereby killing algae. The temperature, ionization and molecular structure of the water as well as the electrical current, duration and purity of silver used in the process determine the size, quantity and quality of the silver colloids.
Although lethal to bacteria and algae, this process is completely safe for humans. A multitude of scientific tests have been done proving the effectiveness of copper silver ion systems in and spa applications. Various experiment proves that such mineral ions, in conjunction with trace chlorine are 1,000 times more effective against algae than chlorine alone. Today the use of these metals is widespread and highly advanced as is the equipment used to produce them for water treatment. A safe low voltage DC current is applied to the silver and copper electrodes. As the ions attempt to move from one electrode to the other, many of them become suspended in the water a low voltage, alternating DC current is passed through a set of metallic electrodes, which are placed in-line with the circulation system and set slightly apart from one another.
The voltage causes some of the outermost atoms of the electrodes to lose an electron, thus becoming positive ions, which attempt to flow across the space between the electrodes, but instead are carried away by the flow of water.
