DESICCA silver impregnated Activated Carbon are natural grain coconut shell based with Metallic Silver as an active ingredient. Metal Silver a known bacteriostat is deposited by a unique process on the large surface area available within the pore structure of base carbon.
The process ensures levels of Silver & Nitrate leach well below USEPA / EEC standards.
DESICCA Silver Impregnated Activated Carbons are used in bacteriostatic water filters which whilst removing objectionable TASTES, ODOURS, COLOURS and SUSPENDED particles from regular tap water, does not allow build up of bacteria in the filter.
