Copper-Silver Ionization
As naturally occurring minerals, copper and silver have been used for their health benefits and biocidal properties for centuries. From ancient Roman drinking cups to modern military field bandages, copper and silver have long been trusted to keep us and our water safe. Silver ions bind to the Legionella bacteria cell wall causing cellular surface distortions, inhibits respiration, denatures proteins, and promotes reactive oxygen species production, which damages the legionella bacteria cells. Copper ions also bind to the Legionella bacteria cell wall, but its primary target is the cell’s DNA. It inhibits the nutrient update sensor regulators and also promotes ROS production. To read more in-depth information about how copper and silver ions help to control Legionella bacteria growth, check out this research paper titled Investigation of Silver Biocide as a Disinfection Technology for Spacecraft – An Early Literature Review.”
