-----Enlighten me- if you are starting with tap water, it will test "x" number of ppm before you make the IS. Then you test it after production and you can't really know the ppm silver you have, can you? Is it your final ppm no. Minus the ppm you started with.----------
I'll give you an example. Tap water 400us. Faradays law says I add 200ppm. After brewing the batch its 500 uS, so 100 uS is measurable by the meter. The other 100 ppm has 'disappeared. (i.e. the particles are so small they create virtually no TE). I'm trying to find out whats happening. Incidentally. If you are using distilled water to make CS you should not subtract the initial reading from final reading. Thats a myth too. In fact you should probably add it on. ---- And- aren't you concerned about what is in that water that can be combining with your silver?---- 1. No I'm not. In spite of the hype you may have read theres no evidence that silver compounds are harmful. In fact theres evidence that every tested form of silver kills bacteria. 2. Thats not really the issue anyway. My interest is in the 'puzzle' of whats happening in the water. ----- Not to nitpick but silver DOES NOT dissolve in water. ------ Yes it does. A little low voltage current creates Ag+ ions. Thats basic stuff. ---- As to no TE in tap water and 200ppm Colloidal Silver....Bull. Have a lab (that knows what they're doing) check your stuff.---- I dont need a lab test to see that I have no TE. Just shine a laser through it. And the amount of the ppm is calculated using Faradays Law. (Einstein had a picture of Faraday on his wall. He was that good). If my uS meter agrees with Faraday, well that just a bonus. David
