Minerals dissolved in water cannot change the electrolytic core principle of silver ion disinfection equipment, but they bring scaling hazards:
Calcium, magnesium bicarbonate and other mineral substances precipitate into scale under temperature change and electrolysis environment, covering the silver electrode surface, which impedes the electrolytic ionization reaction and cuts down silver ion output.
Serious scaling will cause uneven electrode current, unstable silver ion concentration and shortened electrode service life.
Water with low mineral content has little interference to the equipment; hard water with high mineral content needs water softening pretreatment to guarantee stable long-term operation.
