Because the silver will distill out. Steam humidifiers are similar to
steam distillers, except with no provision to collect the distilled
steam and condense it back into water. Silver is left behind, just as
are other ions and particles. This is just basic science of
distilling, some volatiles will transfer in the steam, but silver is
not a volatile, neither are salts. This is why scale builds up in
such humidifiers--it is the stuff that is left behind that is not
contained in the steam.
As to keeping the water free of bacteria, silver is used for that
many places world wide. Dentist offices, in the space shuttles I'm
told, and so forth.

It is safe and will keep the tank water clean, but the silver does
