Dear Reid,
I know that heating up the water increases the ppm, but that is
because it increases conductivity by causing the loosening of the ionic
bonds between the two hydrogens and one oxygen in a water molecule (or so
I think). I am sure that everyone knows that golden silver does not
necessarily mean higher parts per million because I have produced clear
silver that has certainly made me feel better than golden silver, but
if you boil the water, then the silver particles will
be attracted to the oxygen in such a way as to cause a build up of the
yellow diffuse color and as more particles become "attached" to the
oxygen the darker the yellow will become, going from light yellow to
golden. So then the ppm is increasing and it manifests itself in this
way. But if only minimal heating is involved, then the conductivity will
be increased just enough for the process to continue but not enough for
the particles to "attach" to the oxygen. Thus, the ppm can increase with
a clear silver product. I have reproduced this without heating the
distilled water, and using the same water I have created a solution that
was clear and one that was golden with the only variable being heat used
as a conduction inducer in the golden product.
These thoughts are speculative as only God knows all the answers.
