Even Alexander the Great considered it essential to carry the drinking water needed for various campaigns in silver containers to ensure its purity. Traditions from this time already describe the magical, healing properties of silver. Today, people take a more sober view &#8211; they now talk about silver and the antimicrobial effect as a result of the oligodynamic effect. In drinking water, silver ions (Ag+) have a microbicidal (germ-killing or germ-inhibiting) effect. This makes it possible to conserve drinking water and protect it from recontamination in the long term.<\/span>\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" style=\"margin-top:30px;max-width:100%;\"><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >WHICH ACTIVE INGREDIENTS ARE USEFUL FOR CONSERVATION?<\/span><b><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p>\n            <span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">In the case of silver, it is the positively charged silver ions that dock onto the microorganisms (e.g. pathogens such as Legionella, E.Coli etc.) and disrupt the metabolism of the bacteria or lead to cell death in over 30 different mechanisms of action. They act microbially and have a unique long-term effect like no other active ingredient on the market. Products based on chlorine or e.g. hydrogen peroxide cannot be &#8220;bound&#8221; in water, volatilise and are therefore unsuitable for preservation.<\/span>\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" style=\"margin-top:30px;max-width:100%;\"><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONSERVATION AND DISINFECTION?<\/span><b><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p>\n            <span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">Conservation is the prevention of the multiplication of microorganisms over a longer period of time. However, this requires water of drinking water quality. Disinfection is based on the assumption that there is a high germ load in the water, which is reduced by adding disinfectants to make the water drinkable.<\/span>\n          <\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1190573013 > .col-inner {\n  max-width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1125037573 {\n  padding-top: 50px;\n  padding-bottom: 50px;\n  background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_877546358\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row row-small align-middle align-center\" style=\"max-width:90%\" id=\"row-230665568\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2114538154\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row row-large row-full-width align-equal align-center\"  id=\"row-1168336352\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-791782634\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n  <div class=\"banner has-hover\" id=\"banner-470211474\">\n          <div class=\"banner-inner fill\">\n        <div class=\"banner-bg fill\" >\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/wm-aquatec.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bg_Karaffe-1400x653.jpg\" class=\"bg attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" \/>                                    \n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\n        <div class=\"banner-layers container\">\n            <div class=\"fill banner-link\"><\/div>            \n\n   <div id=\"text-box-869086547\" class=\"text-box banner-layer x0 md-x0 lg-x0 y65 md-y65 lg-y65 res-text\">\n                                <div class=\"text-box-content text dark\">\n              \n              <div class=\"text-inner text-left\">\n                  \n\n\t<div id=\"text-1961202321\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">\n            <span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">SILVER <\/span>\n            <br>\n            <span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">AND <strong>HEALTH<\/strong><\/span>\n          <\/h2>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-1961202321 {\n  font-size: 0.75rem;\n  text-align: center;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-1961202321 {\n    font-size: 0.75rem;\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n              <\/div>\n           <\/div>\n                            \n<style>\n#text-box-869086547 .text-box-content {\n  background-color: rgba(0, 106, 176, 0.756);\n  font-size: 0%;\n}\n#text-box-869086547 .text-inner {\n  padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;\n}\n#text-box-869086547 {\n  width: 81%;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-box-869086547 .text-inner {\n    padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;\n  }\n  #text-box-869086547 {\n    width: 62%;\n  }\n  #text-box-869086547 .text-box-content {\n    font-size: 100%;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n    <\/div>\n \n\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n            \n<style>\n#banner-470211474 {\n  padding-top: 90%;\n}\n#banner-470211474 .banner-bg img {\n  object-position: 0% 29%;\n}\n<\/style>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2141110414\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >WHICH LIMIT VALUES ARE REGULATED ACCORDING TO THE DRINKING WATER ORDINANCE?<\/span><b><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p>\n            <span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends a maximum silver ion concentration of 0.1mg silver (100\u03bcg) per litre of drinking water, which has been agreed internationally.
