Hi Neil... I'd like to know a definative answer to this question as well!
I've seen several accounts, taken from various sources; none of them were scientific in nature however. It is likely that 1.5 PPM colloidal silver would result in sufficient control of microbes in a swimming pool. One individual used 6 - 8 gallons of assumed 17 PPM colloidal silver ( produced via electrolysis ) to 6500 gallons of water to achieve favorable results, no chlorine or bromide added... That's about 1 gallon of CS for every 1090 gallons of water. This example, however, only included visual observations that no algae and fungus existed in the water. I've seen studies that indicate that .1 PPM, produced in the swimming pool via electrolysis ( silver and copper electrodes ) has been quite successful. If I were to undertake a study, I would first bring the total pool water concentration up to .1 PPM colloidal silver, especially if I had access to a lab that could analyze the water for microbes. For some ideas, take a look at this silver ionization system: http://www.chlorfree.net/whyuse.htm and their "how to use" link which employs a unique treatment modality: http://www.chlorfree.net/howtouse.htm I thought that their system for chlorine reduction as the silver concentration slowly increased in the pool was interesting. If you are able to conclusively demonstrate a minimum concentration level, I'm sure many of us would greatly appreciate the data! Chlorine is not one of my favorite substances.
