The APVMA is not confident that pool and spa sanitising devices or systems that are based solely on silver or silver and copper are adequate in controlling harmful micro-organisms that can readily grow in pools and spas. These devices do kill some harmful micro-organisms but are slow working and are not completely effective. The micro-organisms that are not controlled by such devices can potentially cause serious health problems. Such products are safe and effective if they are used in conjunction with other, APVMA registered, pool chemicals to ensure a safe pool or spa environment.
