When
facility management discover the true costs and marginal biocide
effects associated to short-term water treatment technologies
such as
Chlorination and Thermal Eradication, alternate
methods are normally researched and studied.
Classified as 100% systemic
(treats all of the water system), research has shown that copper
silver ionization penetrates the biofilm and delivers long term
biocide effects against waterborne microorganisms such as Legionella
bacteria, cause of Legionnaires' disease.
Scientific studies and field applications
have prompted National and International associations such as
the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the WHO (World
Health Organization) to recognize copper silver ionization water
treatment as a reliable
Legionella control and prevention technology. (Documentation
