TDS only measures ionic silver. The ASAP product is mostly metallic silver in colloidal form. So very low conductivity. You would need a different (and more expensive) analytical method to determine the total Ag in the ASAP.


No, its supposed to be largely ionic. (In fact its 96% ionic according to http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/cpr05/cpr_05.html).

Its true there can be a significant transition from conductive ions to non conductive particles, but still, if you are paying for ions you're not getting them.

The other answer is that there were not many ions there in the first place. If the ions have combined to create particles then you should have a strong TE. Check the TE with a laser. If you have no TE and only 3 ppm then you've been ripped off.

By the way, you have to at least double what it says on the meter if you are using a TDS meter.
