Antimicrobial Tubing Upgrade

Antimicrobial Tubing Upgrade

Upgrade your Tap Master™ with Flexelene® Silver Antimicrobial Tubing , which is  designed to inhibit microbial colonization on the tubing's inner surface; thus preventing the formation of biofilm and polymer slime that can cause poor taste, odors, and material degradation. Order now and this Antimicrobial tubing upgrade will come pre-installed on your new Tap Master™ and will not require any extra assembly.

Flexelene® Silver
• Built in protection against microbial colonization and bacterial growth within the tubing
• Effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria and other microorganisms

• Certified to NSF Standard 51 for use in food and beverage applications and NSF Standard 61 for use in drinking water applications.

• Non-polar • Does not hold dirt and odor   • UV stable with excellent ozone resistance  •  Flexible to -40° F
• High working temp. (170° F )   •  Abrasion and chemical resistant   • Impact resistant at low temperatures
• Does not contain Plasticizers  • Polyethylene based polymer: a standard class of material used in the water industry

• Significantly more flexible than standard polyethylene tubing

Flexelene™ Silver CFXAG tubing incorporates AgION™ antimicrobial technology to protect against the build up of bio-film. Microbial bio-films often form on surfaces, creating a continuous layer of undesirable polymer slime. The most effective way to prevent bio-film formation is to inhibit the initial colonization and proliferation of bacteria. AgION™ Antimicrobial combats bio-films by releasing silver ions that interfere with respiratory and metabolic functions of bacteria and other microbes.
Bio efficacy – Testing of Eldon James Flexelene™ Silver tubing shows that after a flow through of 40,000 liters of tap water, the tubing still provides up to a 6 log reduction of bacteria on the contact surface area of the tubing, after inoculation with test bacteria (99.74% -  99.9999% reduction over a series of 9 test intervals).
Safety – The average silver content in tap water that has run through Flexelene™ Silver tubing is well below 1μg/liter. This means that a person would have to consume nearly 1,000 liters of this water in one day to approach the EPA reference dose (adult) of 5μg/kg of body weight per day.
