Jack, and All,
This little machine (mentioned in the post below) is evidently dependant
on the capillary action of a little "filter" element; that measures 0.200
(5 mm) diameter, by 3.125 in length (80 mm), and is a very rigid, white,
fibrous material (I don't know the material). Initially, having heard some
time ago that it would be best to remove the filters, I attempted to operate
the unit without installing this element, however, it would not produce
vapor without it.
My brother (chemical background), appears to have been right. When I
bought the unit, I asked him if the silver would be eliminated by the
filter, having described it to him in a telephone conversation. He said that
the ions and particles were too small to be affected by the filter. . . . I
still had my doubts.
Due to the concern Jack mentioned below, and my own doubts fostered by
the "remove all filters" admonition, I decided to check it out. I filled the
ultrasonic humidifier with 4 oz. of CS that measured 11 PPM on a Hanna PWT
(Pure Water Tester), and placed it in a plastic bag with a 1 inch diameter
vapor-stream hole cut in it, and put it in the bottom of a clean 2.2 gallon
cookie jar (that is part of a 9,000 volt AC ionic silver solution generator
made by Utopia), and placed the lid on it. I turned the humidifier on, and
noted that, after a minute, or so, a bit of vapor began escaping the jar.
Had it been hot vapor, condensation would have been more complete, I
suppose.
After processing 4 hours (1 oz/hr of cool vapor). I powered it down, and
removed the unit from the jar and tipped the jar about 20 degrees, gather
the liquid in a smaller area, as there was not much liquid remaining. I let
it settle for another hour. The amount of liquid remaining was about 1.6 oz.
The PPM of this remaining fluid measured 18.1 on the PWT. It had a very
slight "plastic" taste, perhaps due to the filter, which may be made of
plastic.
Evidently, the vapor that had escaped, together with what was still on
the inside wall and lid of the jar, had "abandoned" a majority of its ionic
silver content, since the PPM increased more than 60 percent. The good news
is that the silver did leave the vaporizer :)
I just hope that I did everything properly, and arrived at the truth of
the matter. I would appreciate any constructive criticism that you can think
of :)
Jack, I am very glad that you raised this concern. My apologies to all,
for having recommended this unit while having , my own doubts about its
performance in the application of vaporizing CS (though it did appear to
have delivered CS that eliminated my continual "hacking" cough). In the
future, I will do my best to prove out my "stuff" in advance of any
recommendation on my part.
Thanks again!!!
Best regards
:) Marv

Hi Marv,
I don't think that "Personal Ultrasonic Humidifier"
will tramsport CS in the mist that it produces.

Be Nice
