Note:
All of the "Acknowledgment Quotes" mentioned
on this page clearly identify the document sources and can be verified
by visiting our archives section or each
of the associations website. All Acknowledgments are in relation
to the copper silver ionisation process and have no relation to
a specific brand or type of ionisation technology. It should however
be noted that there are major engineering differences between types
of ion generators currently available around the world. To know
