Filters remove only particles; not dissolved substances. A very fine one typically passes anything smaller that about 1 micron.

My tap water pegs the scale. The faucet filter that I used to trust is about 120 ppm.

John, Any water measuring less than 1 ppm is very good and most likely steam distilled. You will need special laboratory equipment and procedures to get significantly greater purity. The Wallmart DW must be steam distilled or it would indicate a higher ppm. As an experiment, put a few drops of your tap water into a few ounces of the DW, and you will see the ppm goes way up. --Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Reeder" <jree...@sbcglobal.net> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 5:54 PM Subject: RE: CS>Source for recipes? > Re: CS>Source for recipes?I use WalMart DW and find that it is about 0.5-0.9 > ppm. > That is why I was wondering about the 'steam-distilled' bit. > > John > -----Original Message----- > From: Jack Dayton [mailto:jack...@harbornet.com] > Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 4:39 PM > To: silver-list@eskimo.com > Subject: Re: CS>Source for recipes? > > > Hi John, WalMart's DW has been discussed within the last few weeks, > but I'm not sure what was said, but I think the answer is no. > > Jack > > > From: "John Reeder" <jree...@sbcglobal.net > BTW, is WalMart DW steam-distilled? > > > > -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
