I'm also curious about the number 26PPM (silver oxide and silverhydroxide).
Frank Key says 13.3 is the saturation point of ions: "What is the highest concentration of ionic silver that pure water will keep in solution? If no other contamination anions<http://www.silver-colloids.com/Papers/definitions.html#anion>are present, the maximum concentration<http://www.silver-colloids.com/Papers/definitions.html#concentration>of silver ions <http://www.silver-colloids.com/Papers/definitions.html#silver.ion>that pure water can hold at room temperature in an unsaturated solution <http://www.silver-colloids.com/Papers/definitions.html#saturated>is 13.3 ppm. In practice, there is substantial dissolved CO *2* in the water which provides additional anions, so a higher concentration of silver ions is possible without saturation. " ~David A.
