SILSTER 168 Fresh Water Silver Ion Sterilizer
The Fresh Water Silver Ion Sterilizer, model SILSTER 168, uses a proven disinfection method with silver ions that are safe for humans and compliant with the European Community directive 80/778/EEC. It prevents corrosion in piping systems often caused by chlorination and automatically sterilizes water in the fresh water holding tank, requiring minimal maintenance and no crew involvement. The system also disinfects bunkered water without manual adjustments. Silver ions maintain the water’s taste, smell, and color, making it suitable for various applications.
This method of using silver ions for water disinfection is widely recognized and endorsed by government authorities. By keeping an adequate concentration of silver ions, the SILSTER 168 effectively eliminates bacteria in both the holding tank and distribution system. The unit injects silver ions into the water stream through two silver plates in the electrode, with the electrical current alternating automatically to provide a self-cleaning effect and ensure reliability with minimal maintenance.
