AquaSmarter provides perfect water:

The AquaSmarter technology is invented by Dr. Stephen Verdon and is based on the use of 5 materials:  Copper, Silver, Palladium, Zinc and Carbon. The water to be treated passes through the specially-designed capsule that contains 5 materials. These materials in the capsule activates and controls the activity of the copper ions (Cu++) and silver ions (Ag+) in the water. This is called an Electro Galvanic process.

A large portion of these ions saturates the silica sand contained in the filter, which due to its enormous surface constitutes an additional determination facility and prevents formation of bacterial colonies. Together with the water passing through the filter, a number of ions arrive to the basin, where they propagate their anti-bacterial and algaecidal effects.

Several studies conducted at major universities have proven the high effectiveness of copper and silver ions. Once released into water, these cations with their active surfaces act as powerful and natural disinfecting agents. Within just fractions of a second, the positively charged copper and silver ions form electrostatic bonds with the negatively charged areas of the micro-organisms' cell membranes. This process alters the permeability of their cell walls to that effect that the nutrient intake (photosynthesis) of the micro-organisms is impaired. Once copper and silver penetrate a cell, they attack the sulphur-based amino acids in the cell proteins required by the cell for photosynthesis. As a result, photosynthesis becomes impossible, and the cell becomes inactive.

It has already been known for centuries that silver destroys bacteria and viruses, even those which are resistant to chlorine. Silver sulphate is frequently used in the antibacterial treatment of burns and open wounds and is even used to protect newborns. As is known by a variety of publications, silver ions sustainably strengthen the immune system of the human organism.

As a trace element, copper plays a vital role in human metabolism. Copper is essential to the activity of many proteins and enzymes. It promotes the formation of skin pigments and has important functions in bone metabolism and in the central nervous system. As the body is not itself capable of producing copper, it must obtain copper from nutrients (such as vegetables, wholemeal bread, nuts, oats).   The maximum permissible value of copper specified by the German drinking water regulations is 2 mg/l. Thanks to the AquaSmarter technology, we provide perfect water with copper levels of 0,2 mg/l.   Most of the “classical electrode based ionization equipment needs copper levels of 0,5 – 0,7 mg/l to achieve acceptable results. The electrodes are not precise, very sensitive for calciumdeposits and need a lot of maintenance.

The most important advantage of copper and silver ions is however that they achieve a highly efficient steady effect in water and hence provide sustained protection by disinfecting the water without the use of any toxins over a lengthy period of time. Even after the filter system has been switched off, this depot effect lasts for more then 2 weeks. Thus, there is no need for repetitive monitoring and readjustments requiring attendance.

The AquaSmarter technology is straightforward to operate and requires no maintenance. It has been demonstrated that copper and silver ions eliminate Cryptosporidium, E. coli, coliforms, Pseudomonas and legionnella as well as many other species of bacteria and germs, including chlorine-resistant varieties. This water disinfection technique can be used in practically all situations where lasting disinfection of bacteria, viruses and algae is required. It is already operational in thousands of swimming pools and whirlpools.
