Hi Terry, Exactly. It's silver and distilled water in the vessel. I wouldn't have any qualms about ingesting a small quantity of silver oxide or silver ?. I wouldn't drink the dregs for long periods of time but an occasional particle is not a worry to me. Decanting always leaves any dregs behind. Floaters are definitely a small amount. Just looks like more since they are so thin.
I see them in almost every batch I make with the SG7 and when I drain the CS into another container through the spigot they're never seen again in the storage bottles.
