Silver Ion Technology

Last month, a press release from the Silver Institute revealed serious health and safety problems with public water features according to the U.S. Government's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in Atlanta, Georgia. The report, titled "Healthy Swimming 2003" can be found at the CDC's web site at http://www.cdc.gov/healthyswimming/. Inadequate cleaning and safeguarding of swimming pools may be exposing millions of Americans to harmful bacteria that cause diarrhea and other illnesses, according to the report.

The answer, says the Silver Institute is silver-based water sanitation systems which can provide a safe swimming environment. Silver and copper ions, when generated by a mild electric current,  technology used by ThomsonTec, can adequately sanitize private swimming pools.
