i've made really strong CS with my Colloid Master AC for quite awhile by turning the dial all the way up, brewing until it won't run anymore not worrying about it turning grey/blackish... then letting it settle down and filtering and re-brewing... doing that a number of times, then filtering it weekly for a month or two. it eventually ends up crystal clear with no tyndall at all, and reads well over 60 uS with a com-100. once it's like that it's stable for a long time, and i think probably all ionic... but i've been convinced fresher, lower strength with the particles still in it but still appearing very clear is probably better, so i use the really strong aged stuff to top up bottles as i always need a couple oz more to fill a liter bottle.
i use "oxygen cleansed" (?) filter papers (white) from costco, 4 layers of them, and since i use one to make coffee every day anyway i don't worry about contaminants in it... and i re-use the same filters for quite awhile (until too clogged) hoping that overall gives less contaminants over time. i believe your stuff would eventually settle out at home. i wouldn't shake it up before drinking ... just the opposite: pour carefully to leave the fallout on the bottom. i don't know but doubt if proximity to frig or m'wave would matter. being agitated is probably more likely to contribute to fallout. bobL > -----Original Message----- > From: Pat [mailto:pattycake29...@yahoo.com] > Sent: Monday, May 19, 2008 10:25 PM > To: silver list > Subject: CS>Settled Out > > > My son has complained before that his colloidal silver has > settled out.
