Copper is a well known algaecide and silver is a powerful bactericide.
In the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, the royalty used to drink from silver goblets and their water was stored in silver urns in order to purify their drinking water. As the pioneer settlers moved west across the American continent, they learned to insured safe drinking water by putting copper and silver coins in their barrels of water and milk. There are a number of advantages to an ion purification system. Unlike standard sanitizing chemicals, ions are relatively unaffected by pH, temperature, aeration or sunlight. As they are not as prone to evaporation or dissipation, they tend to remain resident in the water to provide longer lasting and more constant purification.
