 * Anti-Microbial Mouthpieces 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.
