SILver IonS qUeSTIonS and anSWerS Question: How are the silver ions actually added to the water? answer: The silver ion cartridge contains ceramic beads that are infused with silver. By placing the cartridge in the circulation pump filter standpipe, it is subjected to the continuous flow of water created by the pump’s 24 hour circulation. The flowing water, through a chemical erosion process, carries with it the silver ions necessary to add a sanitizing residual to the spa water. -
