We have been using the brands Crystal Distilled or Zephryhills Distilled water hear in Florida, USA. The Crystal seems better than Zephryhills. We have tried a couple other brands that we weren't real happy with but since we don't have a distiller we are basically at the mercy of what is available in the stores. We want to get a meter but haven't ordered one yet.
My husband is using about four quarts a day on three of our weanling horses. They have had the snots (cold/flu) and they are clearing but it isn't quick with the 5ppm. I have one batch brewing to make 10ppm for our personal use but I don't think I can keep up the volume we need for the animals if I consistently brew over the 5ppms. It was my son it law's questions about why wasn't ours yellow like what he read about on the internet. I wasn't sure why. Thank you for responding. Am always interested in information.

We have always made our own CS, and distributed it to our clients. Our water, made from "le Bleu" is clear and of exellent quality (but this brand is not distributed in Colombia where we live -yet-), and if we make it from a 20 liter-big bottle it is a bit greyish. We do not appreciate our water if it has a brown cloud on the bottom (that goes to the plants), and if there is too much 'beard' we filter it, and use it anyway. We -by lack of a PPM meter- go by the taste; in our approach it should be a bit metallic.

Do not be fooled. If the product is clear, then it is ionic silver, not a true silver colloid. Colloidal particles, when present in sufficient concentration, absorb visible light causing the colloid to exhibit an "apparent color". The apparent color is the complement of the absorbed wavelength. Silver ions do not absorb visible light and therefore appear as clear colorless liquids. My silver I am producing with the silverpuppy is clear. Grant you I am usually only producing 5ppm. I have some on now that I intend to go to 10ppm so I can do the eye treatment. I told my daughter that I thought it had to be higher ppm's to show yellow. Am I right? I also was under the impression that ionic silver is the culprit causing argyria. I could well have this all mixed up but would like to know more.
