That would be right, but then no meter, be it a TDS or an EC meter will give accurate results. They 'estimate'. I would not be too concerned about ppm being accurate, it doesn't have to be 100% accurate for 'in house' purposes. If you want 100% accuracy for commercial purposes, you'll have to take some to a laboratory, but you'd better take several samples so you can see a bigger picture of how the results will vary from one sample to another dependant on many factors. Don't pay too much attention to information vendors of machines put about either, remember, they ALL want people to purchase THEIR machines, hence they will distort, exaggerate and mislead to get those sales. ALL those machines which operate using LVDC produce the same end product. LVDC machines do not produce 'Colloidal Silver', they produce a 'predominantly Ionic silver solution'. You want to know how good your end product is? Use visual observation. Stock standard TDS meter - double the reading will get you in the ball park with an 'estimate'. An EC meter will have an inbuilt compensator/calculator which will calculate and get you in the ball park with a better 'estimate' maybe, but they both work on 'estimates'. Combine either/all of the above with colour and clarity of solution in your end product i.e. 1. Clear with perfect clarity or transparency of solution - no problems as a meter will give you an estimate of ppm. Use a laser pointer to highlight particle content. Varying brightness of the conical beam indicates roughly if you have no, a few, many or anywhere inbetween of particle content.
2. Colour evident from clear up to golden - refer to 1. 3. If no settlement observable over time in storage - refer to 1. If you've ticked all the above, any particles present will be bioavailable within the body, besides which, those particles are stuck together encased in water, so what happens to those 'particles' when exposed to the many ingredients which make up the human body after it's ingested? I also don't put any store in that stomach acid business either, millions of people around the world can't be wrong in the efficacy of the home produced product! So something else must be going on inside the body for it to be so efficacious. Vendors can argue the toss over particle size and their TEM images until the cows come home.....Irrelevant, unnecessary and meaningless for the home producer, if you can tick the above boxes then it's bioavailable. I had several samples of mine lab analysed many years ago so I stand by all the above for the home producer. And while I have my own opinions, there are many here that will give you information which may not entirely agree with mine, so be it <g>. N. From: gidonke...@gmail.com To: silver-list@eskimo.com Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2013 02:30:18 +0300 Subject: CS>Undetactable silver The vendor of my CS generator claims the ppm of the CS solution is inaccurately measured by a TDS meter, since the silver particles the generator produce are too small (around 1 nano to his claim), is that correct?
