Ole Bob,
Respectfuly...I have used a stir'er and now a bubble'er to mix CS...The
difference is: stired colloidal silver will always  have a decreasing ppm
reading , and a darker color change to yellow'ish with age. Bubbled CS will
always (most always) stay clear, and keep the same reading for months, maybe
forever?  Just my observaton.
