Silver as a residual disinfectant to prevent biofilm formation in water distribution systems.

Nadia Silvestry-Rodriguez1, Kelly R Bright, Donald C Slack, Donald R Uhlmann, Charles P Gerba.   

Abstract

Biofilms can have deleterious effects on drinking water quality and may harbor pathogens. Experiments were conducted using 100 microg/liter silver to prevent biofilm formation in modified Robbins devices with polyvinyl chloride and stainless steel surfaces. No significant difference was observed on either surface between the silver treatment and the control.
