Copper and silver ions have long been recognized for their ability to combat a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Our ionization system leverages this natural synergy to create a powerful, non-toxic disinfection process. As water passes through the system, copper and silver ions are released, disrupting the cellular structures of pathogens and preventing their growth.

Mars Water Treatment Company provides an ionization system for copper and silver that is in the water, electrically charged copper ions (Cu2+) look for antipolar particles like bacteria, viruses, and fungus. Microorganisms’ negatively charged cell walls combine with positively charged copper ions to form electrostatic compounds. These substances impair the permeability of cell walls, which hinders the absorption of nutrients. Silver ions (Ag+) will be able to enter the cell wall through the penetration of copper ions. These reach the microorganism’s core. The cell’s respiratory enzymes, cellular proteins, DNA, and RNA are all bound by silver ions, rendering the cell’s life support systems immobile.

As a result, there is no longer any cellular division or growth, which stops the proliferation of bacteria and eventually leads to their extinction. Until a microbe absorbs the ions, they are still active.

In still and slow-moving water, copper-silver ionization can render bacteria and other microorganisms inactive, including Legionella. The bacteria Legionella is highly susceptible to ionization with copper and silver. Bio film is also taken care of by copper-silver ionization. Copper has a lasting impact because it is still present in the biofilm. It seems that the addition of copper-silver ionization reduces the quantity of Legionella bacteria. However, because the bacteria are also present in the bio film, the quantity of Legionella bacteria will quickly increase once more.

These bacteria are eliminated by copper that remains in the biofilm. The concentration of Legionella bacteria stays low when copper and silver ions are continuously added to water. Compared to UV or ozone, the deactivation rate of copper-silver ionization is lower. Long-lasting ion retention in the water is one advantage of copper-silver ionization. As a result, there is long-term disinfection and recontamination prevention. After precipitating or attaching themselves to bacteria or algae, copper and silver ions are extracted from the water through filtration.
