What is the working principle of the silver ion sterilizer?

The silver ion sterilizer adopts the electrolysis principle. A low-voltage direct current acts on the silver electrodes to release silver ions (Ag⁺) into the water. Positively charged silver ions adhere to the negatively charged cell membranes of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms. They damage cell structures, inhibit enzyme activity and block the replication of genetic substances, thereby achieving efficient disinfection. Meanwhile, silver ions can remain active in water for a long time to provide continuous antibacterial protection. This technology is chemical-free, no peculiar smell and will not produce harmful by-products.
