Disinfection involves the elimination or deactivation (in the case of viruses) of microorganisms. Silver has the ability to disrupt essential sites required for the metabolism and structural stability of microorganisms through interactions with proteins and nucleic acids.
Silver has been recognized for centuries for its healing qualities. Initially employed to purify drinking water more than 3,000 years ago, it was also utilized in the treatment of burns and persistent wounds. Sodium nitrate, when administered as eye drops, was applied to newborns’ eyes as a preventive measure against gonococcal infections prior to the discovery of antibiotics. Although the popularity of antibiotics for bacterial infections has diminished the appeal of silver, there has been a renewed interest in its application in recent years due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant organisms and the advancement of silver nanoparticles.
Silver Splash Nano is an exclusive effervescent tablet meticulously crafted to improve the transparency and overall appearance of pool water. By harnessing the distinctive attributes of nanosilver dispersed in the water, it operates effectively. Upon introduction of the tablet into the pool, it gradually dissolves, and the effervescence mechanism evenly disperses the nanosilver particles across the pool, guaranteeing a comprehensive and uniform clarification process.
The silver particles in Silver Splash release positively charged ions that attach to microscopic particles such as dirt, algae, and other organic matter that naturally build up in pool water over time. When these silver ions combine with the contaminants, they form larger clumps, a process called coagulation. These larger clumps are then easily trapped and eliminated by the pool’s filtration system. This leads to water that is not only visually appealing but also healthier for swimmers. Additionally, the use of nanosilver provides the added benefit of its antimicrobial properties, which help to sanitize and keep the pool water safe. Furthermore, Silver Splash offers a unique aesthetic advantage, giving your pool water a sparkling and radiant appearance that is unmatched by other clarifiers on the market. However, it is important to remember that while this effervescent tablet containing nano silver is effective in maintaining water clarity, it should not be used as a substitute for regular pool maintenance. Regular cleaning, chemical balancing, and proper filtration are still necessary to ensure the overall health and cleanliness of the pool.
The Nano Silver proprietary has the ability to effectively eliminate viruses, bacteria, and algae for a duration of one month. This is achieved by maintaining a chlorine concentration of at least 0.5 – 1.0 ppm. By utilizing the nano silver mineral, the longevity of chlorine in the water is enhanced, resulting in a reduced requirement of chlorine to achieve and sustain the desired parts per million (ppm) level.
Our Nano silver is combined with Nano Copper and Zinc minerals, enclosed in a rapidly dissolving baking soda puck that dissolves within seconds. These pucks are tailored to specific pool sizes and are manufactured utilizing our Reactor technology at a nanoparticle molecular level to avoid pool staining. Once the puck is positioned in the pool’s deep end, it promptly starts dissolving in the water.

The Nano Silver Splash formula offers an extra level of defense against algae and bacteria, thanks to the presence of silver/copper as an active component. This well-documented antimicrobial has the ability to eliminate bacteria, fungi, and specific viruses, providing enhanced protection.
These minerals dissolve instantly upon contact with water, creating a lasting residue that effectively eradicates algae and bacteria. To achieve a transformation from green to clear water, we suggest maintaining a minimum chlorine level of 2.00 ppm.
Nano Silver Splash pucks act as a natural de-scaler, effectively preventing scale buildup on the salt cell, surfaces, and equipment. This results in reduced cleaning frequency. The decreased salt chlorine generation and cell cleaning are known to extend the lifespan of the salt chlorine generator.
Algae free, crystal clear water, with less chemicals.
The long-standing antimicrobial characteristics of silver have been well-documented. The Phoenicians utilized silver to store water and oils, while the Romans preserved their wine in silver containers.
During the 19th century, silver was utilized for wound closure and combating infections. Its role as a disinfectant remains prevalent in contemporary times with a wide range of applications.
Silver possesses an inherent capability to eliminate microorganisms.
Silver disrupts the cell membranes of microorganisms, inhibiting their metabolism and respiration through the binding of internal enzymes.
It additionally inhibits the replication of microbial cells by attaching to their DNA and RNA, which serve as the instructions for producing fresh cells.
The goal of water disinfection is to eradicate or counteract microbiological contaminants found in it. There are various techniques that can be utilized for this purpose, one of which is chlorination. Nevertheless, chlorination may come with disadvantages, like giving off a noticeable smell and altering the taste of specific water supplies.
Silver nitrate has been proven to be an effective water disinfectant when utilized in small amounts. Its efficacy is influenced by a range of factors such as:
The effectiveness of silver may also be impacted by the presence of additional chemicals in the water.
Silver nanoparticles have shown greater efficacy compared to silver nitrate, demonstrating effectiveness in eliminating and neutralizing microorganisms through metallic disinfection and physical filtration.
Silver nanoparticles with a greater surface-to-volume ratio may increase the contact area with microbes, thereby enhancing their antimicrobial effectiveness.
Silver possesses the potential to negatively impact both human health and the environment. Although it is not highly toxic, prolonged exposure to silver compounds can result in health complications and various other issues.
One notable consequence of inhaling or ingesting silver compounds over an extended period is a condition known as argyria. This condition causes permanent discoloration of the skin, giving it a blue-grey tint, but it does not pose any harmful health effects.
In the process of manufacturing silver nitrate, individuals may experience breathing difficulties, lung and throat irritation, as well as stomach pain due to exposure to dust containing high levels of silver compounds.
Animal studies suggest that prolonged exposure to moderately high levels of silver nitrate may have a minor impact on the brain. However, there is currently no evidence to suggest that it affects humans in the same manner.
Furthermore, there is evidence indicating that silver nanoparticles can cause significant environmental harm under specific conditions.
Presently, silver nanoparticles are utilized in textile manufacturing to enhance the antimicrobial properties of clothing. However, when this clothing is washed, it releases silver into wastewater.
Consequently, wastewater sludge in water treatment plants can contain substantial amounts of silver. If this sludge is then used as fertilizer, it can lead to long-term damage to agricultural land.
Additionally, silver is commonly incorporated into health supplements as colloidal silver, with claims that it acts as an antibacterial agent.
Nevertheless, it is important to note that silver may also pose health risks. Individuals who are allergic to silver, copper, or zinc should refrain from using this product.
Colloidal silver is a widely used product in the field of holistic health. However, it is important to note that there is no official medical evidence supporting its health benefits. It is crucial to be aware that colloidal silver can potentially interact with certain prescription medicines, particularly quinolone antibiotics. Additionally, it has the potential to interfere with the body’s absorption of specific drugs. Prolonged usage of colloidal silver may result in the accumulation of silver in tissues, which can eventually lead to a condition called argyria. Another possible adverse effect of consuming colloidal silver supplements is kidney damage. This is due to the fact that silver is partially eliminated by the kidneys, and studies have indicated that elevated levels of silver in the blood can cause kidney problems in individuals who rely on dialysis.
The survival duration of these microorganisms in adequately chlorinated water can range from minutes to days, contingent upon the specific type of microorganism.
If someone has diarrhea and has an accident in the water, millions of diarrheal pathogens can get into the water. If other people swallow even small amounts of this contaminated water, they can become ill. Bacteria can also enter the water through small amounts of feces that are washed off swimmers’ butts.
Filters and disinfectants (chemicals like chlorine and bromine) work together to kill germs in pools, hot tubs, and wading pools. The filter removes debris (such as leaves) that can deplete the disinfectant in the water needed to kill bacteria.
Pool staff will ensure that the chlorine or bromine level reaches the level necessary to kill most bacteria in the water within minutes. During the time it takes for the disinfectant to come into contact with the germs and kill them, you can still be exposed to 4,444 germs. Diarrhea can also be caused by bacteria that are difficult to kill, such as Crypto. Even if the water is properly disinfected, crypto can remain viable for more than seven days.
Facilities that have multiple pools commonly utilize a single filtration system for all the pools, resulting in the mixing of water from different pools. Consequently, germs from an individual’s body could potentially contaminate the water in more than one pool.
Avoid water if you have diarrhea. If Crypto is present, do not go into the water until he has been 2 weeks after the diarrhea has completely stopped.
Change diapers outside of the water to avoid introducing germs into the water. Then wash your hands. Rinse thoroughly before entering a pool, wading pool, or hot tub. A one-minute shower removes most of the dirt, sweat, and oil from your body and depletes the pool chemicals needed to kill germs. Follow these healthy swimming steps to protect yourself and your loved ones from illness.
Both iodine and bromine are drinking water disinfectants that replace silver and chlorine. Bromine is more soluble in water than iodine, but less soluble than chlorine. As previously mentioned, chlorine can cause taste and odor issues when added to water. Bromine is commonly used as an alternative disinfectant in pools and spas, but not in drinking water. Iodine requires higher concentrations than chlorine to achieve equivalent effectiveness as a disinfectant, and its safety for long-term consumption has not been established.
Another alternative to water disinfection is hydrogen peroxide. However, it is usually a silver-stabilized material and there are environmental pollution problems associated with its disposal. But now, the next generation of hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectants is emerging, and their formulations use only food-safe ingredients. Oxyl-Pro is the result of a unique stabilization process that creates a powerful, versatile disinfectant that is free of silver and heavy metals. It is effective against bacteria, viruses, mold, yeast, and fungi and can be used in a variety of water treatment applications.
