PSD-Ag+
purestar
PSD-Ag+ uses acid-washed coconut shell activated carbon as its substrate, ensuring low ash, low extractables and a clean base material. Controlled silver impregnation chemically anchors silver ions onto the carbon matrix, creating a sustained-release bacteriostatic effect.
The silver ions act by disrupting the surface charge potential of microbial cell membranes, inactivating bacteria, algae and fungi on contact. This prevents the growth of bacterial colonies and biofilm inside the carbon bed — a common issue with plain activated carbon that can lead to odor problems and bacterial regrowth in stagnant or low-flow systems. The product complies with Chinese drinking water processor hygienic safety specifications and is designed for use where microbial control is required alongside organic and chlorine removal.

Dual-action: adsorption + continuous bacteriostasis
Delivers standard activated carbon dechlorination and organic removal plus sustained silver-ion release to suppress microbial growth.
Stable silver loading with controlled release
Chemically bonded silver provides slow, steady release with effluent silver levels well within drinking water safety limits under normal operating conditions.
Acid-washed high-purity base carbon
Built on acid-purified coconut shell substrate equivalent to PSD-A0 S, ensuring low ash and minimal non-silver extractables.
Effective biofilm and algae suppression
Inhibits bacteria and algae proliferation in carbon beds, preventing biofouling, odor development and premature pressure drop increase.
Drinking water hygienic compliance
Meets national drinking water treatment equipment hygienic safety standards for safe use in potable water systems.
POU Water System Biofouling Prevention: Standard activated carbon beds provide ideal growth environments for bacteria, causing odor problems and bioburden in stagnant or low-flow systems. PSD-Ag+'s silver-ion technology continuously suppresses microbial colonization without adding chemical disinfectants.
Food & Beverage Process Water Biostability: Filter beds in food plants can develop biofilm that compromises product safety. PSD-Ag+ prevents bacterial proliferation within the carbon bed, maintaining hygienic conditions throughout the filter service life.
Semiconductor UPW Distribution Loop Control: UPW storage and distribution systems are vulnerable to biofilm formation on membranes and resins. PSD-Ag+ helps prevent microbial growth in polishing loops, supporting consistent water quality.
Recirculating Water System Maintenance: Cooling towers and closed-loop systems require ongoing microbial control. PSD-Ag+ reduces biocide dosage requirements while maintaining water chemistry stability.
Addresses the inherent limitation of plain activated carbon—bacterial colonization and biofilm growth—through continuous bacteriostatic action.
Mature impregnation technology ensures silver is firmly anchored rather than loosely coated, preventing initial burst release and maintaining long-lasting efficacy.
Acid-washed base carbon ensures effluent purity, so silver addition does not introduce additional mineral or metal contamination beyond controlled silver content.
Drop-in compatible with standard GAC filter vessels and cartridge designs, allowing antibacterial upgrade without equipment modification.

Q: Does PSD-Ag+ sterilize water or just inhibit growth?
A: PSD-Ag+ primarily provides continuous bacteriostatic effect, preventing bacteria from multiplying. For complete sterilization, pair with downstream UV disinfection or reverse osmosis.
Q: Is silver leaching within safety limits?
A: Yes. Silver loading is precisely controlled for slow, stable release. Effluent silver concentration remains well within applicable drinking water safety standards under normal operation.
Q: What base carbon is PSD-Ag+ built on?
A: PSD-Ag+ is manufactured on an acid-washed high-purity coconut shell carbon base equivalent to PSD-A0 S, ensuring reliable adsorption and low extractables. For higher adsorption capacity with antibacterial function, PSD-A1 S base could be considered for custom orders.
