The Product
Silver has been known since the days of antiquity to be a very potent antibacterial product. With the advent of modern electrical production methods, potent products that effectively kill fungus, bacteria, virus and also single-celled parasites, could now be developed. These products are known as Silver Hydrosols or Colloidal Silver.
SilverZap relies on the recommendations issued from WHO and that allows an even higher amount of silver per liter for disinfection purposes. SilverZap uses 100 mcg of pure silver to disinfect one litre of water. The WHO views this amount of silver as a bacteriostatic amount and allows in excess of 150 mcg per litre for disinfection purposes.
SilverZap contains a total of 10 mg silver per litre of product. This corresponds to 10 ppm (parts per million). SilverZap has a guaranteed shelf life of 3 years from the production date but will usually keep many more years after that date has passed.
WHO says:
"Soluble silver compounds may be used as external antiseptic agents (15–50 ug/litre), as bacteriostatic agents (up to 100 ug/litre), and as disinfectants (>150 ug/litre)"
"Higher levels of silver, up to 0.1 mg/litre (a concentration that gives a total dose over 70 years of half the human NOAEL of 10 g), could then be tolerated without risk to health."
