WaterHog Silver Entrance Mats

WaterHog Silver features a zirconium phosphate-based ceramic ion-exchange resin that contains silver.  This resin is effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms that cause discoloration, odor, biofouling, and other aesthetic problems.  In independent tests conducted by The MicroStar Lab, WaterHog Silver reduced bacteria growth by more than 99%.  During testing, WaterHog Silver mat swatches are placed in a sterile container, inoculated with bacteria^, and incubated for a specified time.  After incubation, colonies of recovered bacteria are counted and used to determine percent reductions.  In the WaterHog Silver test, less than 1% of the bacteria remained; more than 99% had been reduced.

^Specifically the klebsiella pneumoniae and staphylococcusaureus bacteria
