How to use Silverex Shower Head

Silverex Showerhead is made from tough and durable polycarbonate plastic. The Silverex Shower head features a chlorine filter and a 3 part silver foam filter. The chlorine filter reduces water chlorination and the silver foam filter enriches water with silver ions. The silver foam filter is made of pure 99.99% silver. The silver foam filter is silver foam mesh that increases the contact surface of the silver with water to maximize the ionization process. Ordinary tap water is ionized and purified in the Silverex showerhead continually during use. The silver ionized water is subsequently squeezed and sprayed through a nozzle plate punctured by miniscule 0.3 mm holes to create a very thin and smooth water flow. As the miniscule holes are concentrated in the centre of the shower nozzle plate, a gentle massaging action can be felt of the skin during showering.

Background to silver and its health-beneficial properties

Silver is a powerful broad spectrum antimicrobial agent proven to be effective against harmful bacteria. Antibacterial properties of silver have been known since ancient time and are now proven by clinical trials. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine (circa 400 BC) recognised positive effects of silver on healing and disease prevention. Silver compounds were used successfully for many years to prevent infections prior to the discovery of antibiotics. Today, silver continues to be widely used in healthcare. There are medicated impregnated dressings, gels and creams that help to manage wounds, speed up burns healing and reduce the risk of infections.

The antimicrobial effects of silver arise from the chemical properties of silver ions (Ag+). Silver ions kill microbes by interfering with the bacteria's respiratory processes, thus causing bacteria to die.

For centuries, silver has been used to preserve food stuffs long term. Today, silver is used for purification and sanitisation.

Colloidal silver, a liquid suspension of silver micro particles, is long recognised for its antibiotic properties and no side effects. Colloidal silver has been found to be effective against allergies, athlete's foot, boils, burns, conjunctivitis, eczema, psoriasis, bad breath, hay fever, ringworm, acne and many other skin complaints. It also has notable skin revitilising and rehydrating properties.
