Anti-Microbial Sip & Puff Tubing & Connectors work proactively against a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi and other microbes. In laboratory studies, AgION protected products have been proven to reduce bacteria on the treated product by as much as 99.999%. They are designed to offer protection against colonization on the interior and exterior surfaces of the fitting. They are not designed to protect the consumer from bacteria or other harmful agents that may be present in whatever flows through them. By inhibiting microbial colonization; however, they help to control formation of biofilm that can cause off-taste, odors and deterioration. This silver ion antimicrobial technology is used in many food processing/distribution applications and NSF 61certified for possible water.

** Limited Warranty Our switches have been designed, tested, and manufactured to meet the rigorous demands of our users. The standard warranty on all of our ability switches is 1 year with the exception of the bite switch which is 90 days. The warranty does not apply when the switch is not used as directed or when the switch has simply worn out. The bite switch warranty is designed to cover fabrication errors, the kind of thing that will occur almost immediately or within the first 5-10 uses. The jaw is very strong, biting down too hard could cut the coating. Typical bite switch life is about 4000 activations, up to 10,000 activations with the optional extra tubing reinforcement. If you are having trouble with your switch, please Contact Us for replacement consideration/evaluation. We want you to be satisfied you have received a useful life from your bite switch for the money you have paid. If the switch's premature failure is due to fabrication error, the switch will be replaced.

Broadened Horizons cannot be responsible for damage to teeth, tongue, or any other anatomy and oral appliances resulting from the use of any ability switch. Use good judgment or avoid using these products.
