THE SAFETY

AgION’s technology is based on naturally-occurring silver.

Silver is a powerful anti-microbial metal ion and is a safer alternative to organic biocides like Triclosan.

Footnoted from Agion®, Neoperl®, Inc.

THE SAFETY

The controlled release of silver ions by the zeolite carrier has been engineered to provide continuous anti-microbial protection.

THE SAFETYHow quickly is microorganism growth affected?

Footnoted from Agion®, Neoperl®, Inc.

It takes 4 hours to see full efficacy of Agion-treated polymeric material only if the water sits on the treated surface.

THE SAFETYHow quickly is microorganism growth affected?

Footnoted from Agion®, Neoperl®, Inc.

This occurs inside the aerator and only on the water droplets stuck inside the laminar device.

THE SAFETYHow quickly is microorganism growth affected?

Footnoted from Agion®, Neoperl®, Inc.

NOTE: The 100,000 CFU bacteria count was inoculated as a test sample (as common in a lab test).

THE SAFETYHow quickly is microorganism growth affected?

Footnoted from Agion®, Neoperl®, Inc.

As indicated in blue, with the antimicrobial effect, the bacteria count will drop in time.

THE SAFETYEPA-REGISTEREDThe AgION anti-microbial is registered for a broad range of uses other than water contact. It includes food contact, HVAC, building products, appliances, textiles, cosmetic and personal products.

FDA-LISTEDThe AgION anti-microbial is listed under the FDA Food Contact Substance Notification for use in all types of food-contact polymers.

THE SAFETYANSI/NSF 61 CERTIFIEDThis certification ensures that the laminar devices meet the regulatory requirements for U.S. and Canada.

In this case, mechanical and plumbing devices are included.

ALSO MEETS ASME A112.18.1M & CSA B125 REQUIREMENTS (plumbing)

THE SAFETY

FIG. 3 – The air and water spray pattern is white and soft in touch; produces 50% air from aerator’s mixing chamber.

FIG. 4 – The laminar devices draws no air in water stream and produces a clear non-aerated crystal stream of 100% water.

Footnoted from Agion®, Neoperl®, Inc.

THE SAFETY

FIG. 4 – Our Kingston Brass faucets will produce the clear stream of water which will minimize the air that can contain bacteria (as shown in Fig. 3). Added, the clear non-aerated pattern also provides energy-saving effects.

Footnoted from Agion®, Neoperl®, Inc.

THE SAFETY

The devices feature a unique screenless 100% plastic Cascade® construction to prevent lime buildup (no wire mesh screens).

Footnoted from Agion®, Neoperl®, Inc.

THE CONCLUSION

These laminar devices help to prevent the growth of a broad range of microorganisms thanks to the silver element.The AgION technology enables the device to protect and help reduce the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew within the faucet attachment.
