"The page on water testing says "DO NOT BOTHER if you have added anything, as our equipment will not accurately measure silver content, only total PPM." I am guessing the way around this is to send two samples, 1 of water only and the other c.s. Subtract the second from the first and that gives silver ppm? Would this be the case.
thanx kk" To some extent, that would work, but the simple conductivity tests can not differentiate what is the material. Say you start with 10 PPM water and run your process for the desired time you normally use. If the final PPM is still 10PPM, it would mean you made 10 PPM (OR less) of silver salts or compounds. What we look for is water that is much less then the desired end result, such as 1PPM and then process to get 5PPM. Here, you could be confident you have 5 PPM of silver; as 20% silver compounds and 80% as ions (or crystals of you have poor controls). In our free water testing, we thus ask for samples of both your water and silver colloid, so we can advise you what you might have made. As others have explained, the more important consideration is the particle size, as for the best bio-availability and reactivity, smaller is better. f...@health2us.com -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
