REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES B.E.S.T Alternative Carbon Cartridges ACCESSORIES Parts and Accessories | What's the difference? Alternative or Electronic???  Alternative is - Silver Coated Crystals which naturally kill the bacteria in the water. Silver is known as 'Nature's antibiotic'. As the water passes over a full bed of Silver Coated Crystals, the silver attracts, and kills all harmful bacteria, which may be present. Does not require power. The term "Alternative" refers to this technology being a more budget friendly alternative to the Electronic Silver system. Electronic is - Silver anodes suspended in the water both before and after the cartridge portion of the unit. The silver is released from these anodes via a circuit, which electronically releases a minute amount of silver into the water. The circuit is activated by the flow of the water. It requires 4 x AA batteries to power the circuit. Both the Electronic and Alternative systems do the same job - kill bacteria in the water. The Electronic does this job for a longer period compared to the Alternative. |
