Water flows through the turbine of a flow sensor. This sends a signal to the Orca Control Unit.
The Orca Control Unit passes a low DC current between two copper and two silver electrodes.
The current causes the release of copper and silver ions into the flowing water.
Being positively charged the ions rapidly go to the negatively charged elements readily available in biofilm on the cell wall of bacteria.
The copper ions attach themselves to the negative sides on the cell wall of, in this case, Legionella, and weaken the wall.
The silver ions then penetrate into the cell and attack the cell by denying all life support to the cell, therefore, causing quick death.
The copper and the silver ions need to work together. Without the copper ions the silver ions cannot penetrate the cell wall of the target organisms.
