Kwicksilver Electronics LTD is always looking
to improve our instruments by keeping up with the research and
the competitors. We were one of the first companies to build
the zapper commercially and have been producing quality instruments
for the past fourteen years.
Better Copper Handles
(paddles)
Dr. Clark initially used this shaped metal in her original design
and it seems to work quite well. With a little maintenance (polish
with fine steel wool when corrosion appears) there is no reason
they should not last you a lifetime. Now the difference comes
with how this handle is presented in the differing competitors
instruments. On 80% of our competitors machines the handles are
open-ended tubes that attach to the cables via alligator clips.
Competitors Handles
This creates three problems for the
consumer
1.) Because the handles are not permanently attached they get
lost and the consumer has to buy a new accessory from the supplier.
2.) The electrical connection using an alligator clip will deteriorate
as corrosion builds on the handle. Therefore you are never certain
if you are getting the benefits that go together with a good
zap such as the quick removal of the parasites instead of a slow
and uncertain procedure. If the electricity is not reaching you
because the alligator clip is not connecting properly you are
not getting a good zap.
3.) The open ends of the handle can sometimes be a sharp cutting
hazard if any burrs are left after machining or if the edges
have not been sanded down to a smooth surface.
As you can see in the picture below The Original Dual Parasite
Zapper solders our connection right into the center metal of
the handle. You will never lose good conductivity because of
corrosion or a lose clip because it is wired where corrosion
can't easily reach the connection with the copper.
Original Dual Parasite Zapper Handles
We also install copper caps and rubber hand boots to cover
the open ends of the copper tubing. In addition to protection
the boots also serve as a handy holder to hold your wetted saline
cloth as you are zapping. Our handles are designed to stay with
you and not stray. They are permanently connected to the cables.
You will not be losing them and phoning us for a replacement.
We don't even sell handles as accessories. That's how confident
we are that they'll stay with you for the life of the instrument.
Some of our competitors
provide wrist straps
In our extensive testing we have found that the wristbands work
very poorly. We offered them as an option previously and had
reports of slow parasite removal results. Therefore, we discontinued
them as an option five years ago.
Problems with wrist bands:
1. Small contact area. Handholds give much larger contact area.
2. Weak contact pressure: the straps cannot press hard enough
to firmly contact the top and bottom of the wrist, or they would
cut off circulation to the hand.
3. Low moisture = improper contact: wristband contact area is
difficult to keep moist for the duration of the zapping session.
Dr. Clark recommends keeping damp paper towel layers between
skin and contact to prevent ions from being driven into the skin.
This is not very easily achieved with wristbands.
Better Connector Cable
We have observed that 95% of our competitors use automotive style
or speaker compatible stranded wire. While these types are perfectly
acceptable for wiring your car or stringing your speakers they
are not designed for the multiple bending and pulling that a
zapper will require to remain efficient.
Competitor's Handle Wire
Metal fatigue (when a metal is bent over and over until it
breaks) is the prime culprit when using nonconforming wire when
zapping. Eventually the individual copper metal strands concealed
in the automotive or speaker wire will break because they are
not designed to be constantly manipulated. In due course, less
of the electrical current ends up at the handholds because a
large number of the filaments are broken.
At Kwicksilver Electronics we use only the best instrument
test lead on our zappers. This soft pliable cable is designed
for the work enviroment and will take the abuses of constant
bending and stretching without the fear of metal fatigue setting
in. Unlike our competitors wires our cable is designed for this
purpose and will easily conduct full current for the life of
the instrument. No more worry about broken filaments in your
cables. With our cables you are always getting a full zap.

Better ABS Plastic Casing
More than 80% of our competitors use a more brittle casing material.
It does have more aesthetic appeal but some can easily be damaged
with just one unlucky fall onto a hard flooring surface. Battery
doors on some models detach too easily and can become lost leaving
a dangling battery that has a poor electrical connection. This
can lead to poor zapping sessions that leave the user unsure
if the session was properly done.
At Kwicksilver Electronics we use a better heavy duty ABS
instrument case capable of enduring many accidental falls. Our
instruments are so durable that they are used by naturopathic
and chiropractic clinics as rentals and as you might guess the
rental market is a hard market to make a profit in if you constantly
have to replace your stock. The 9-volt battery is stored inside
the unit with no possibility of losing a door.
Better Circuitry
Our Zappers are the only instruments on the market today that
offers a 50% square wave oscillator. This ensures that the square
wave sent to the copper handles are perfectly symmetrical and
100% efficient,. We also include reverse polarity protection.
If you ever accidentally reverse the poles when installing the
battery the circuitry is automatically protected.
Unlike some of our competitors that use two diodes as a voltage
sensor our instrument detects low voltage using a proper Integrated
circuit. This leaves you with the assurance that if the voltage
falls below the effective zapping rate the machine will inform
you that it's time to change the battery. No more zapping with
voltages that were too low to be effective.
Better Workmanship
All our technicians are qualified electronic technicians with
many years of experience. Our technical department head is very
particular about the method and quality of any product leaving
his lab. This ensures a very high quality product that is tested
vigorously before being sent out to you the end user. We regularly
purchase competitors machines to test and compare features and
performance in order to maintain our quality at the highest level
in the industry.
Better Warranty
Our warranty is the only 100% lifetime guarantee against any
and all manufacturer's defects. If you find any technical fault
with our instrument that was caused by us the manufacturer during
the assembly of these products just send it back by mail. We
will either repair it or will be replaced with a new instrument.
Better Service
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us 24/7.
That's right. Please phone, email or leave a message at any time
-- we mean it! We will be more than happy to answer any questions
you may have. We were told by a recent customer that talking
to us was better than talking to their therapist. By that, she
meant we listened well, answered thoughtfully, and put ourselves
in her shoes.
Better Results
We have had over the past several years hundreds of calls, e-mails
and letters informing us on the wonderful results obtained from
using our instruments. On behalf of all of us at Kwicksilver
Electronics we would like to thank all of you who have purchased
from our company.
