Welcome to the Club!! I purchased/received the silverpuppy generator around Memorial Day. I'm a newbie as well, and since I don't have any experience with other generators, I can't offer an opinion on other models. The silverpuppy comes with very explicit, VERY easy to follow instructions. Using the auto shutoff it makes crystal clear 24 ppm CS.
Because I am now supplying 3 friends with CS, I have been trying to produce more at one brew time. Instead of the beaker that came with the unit, I use a one pint canning jar (takes one to one and a half hours brew time). I tried once to use a a 42 oz. pickle jar and another time tried a quart jar but it took several hours to finish (can't remember exact time, but it was more than double the amount of time a pint jar takes), so I have stuck with the pint jars. In the last few weeks I have started making stronger CS for topical usage (these batches have a very slight yellowish tinge to them but it's only noticeable when i sit the stronger CS bottle next to the 24 ppm bottle). I fill a pint jar with the 24 ppm CS, flip the switch off of the auto shutoff, and let it brew for approximately one and a half hours. I have no idea what the ppm is on this CS, but I do know it's stronger due to the taste. I suppose I should use Mike M's salt test and then ask him what my results mean. But you should only use good quality distilled water and NEVER use salt when brewing your CS. I normally take one ounce of the 24 ppm each morning, holding it in my mouth and swishing it around for a few minutes before swallowing. Which just reminded me... yesterday afternoon, I started feeling somewhat achy all over. By the evening I was running a slight fever. When I got in from work I took an ounce of the 24 ppm CS, before I went to bed I took an ounce of the "stronger" CS, then took another ounce of the stronger stuff again this morning (by this morning I had a slight sore throat). It's about 10:45 my time now, and I feel great!! No fever, no aching bones, no sore throat!! I think I just blew by the dreaded summer cold!!! Hope this helps somewhat.

They had used it and it really helped them. I have emphysema and chronic bronchitis, and have constantly fought off colds/lung problem with the normal rounds of antibiotics, going from one to another to another as my body would build up an immunity to them. The friend who recommended the Colloidal Silver buys theirs, but the cost of this is just not an option for me as I am on a fixed budget. Well I decided to try and do some research into getting a generator and to make my own, but frankly I am now more confused than ever. I have went to dozens of sites, and each says this is the best and this is why you should buy ours, our method is best the other ones are wrong ..... batteries, electric, silver rods, silver discs, clear, yellow, brown, use salt, don't use salt, it will turn you blue (at this point who cares), ......... I'm sure you get the picture. To someone who is new, how does one tell just what is best and who is just trying to sell. Can someone please tell me what is a good quality Colloidal Silver and what to look for in a good generator to make it. Very Confused New Bern, NC
