My water purifier has silver plated pellets in it to kill bacteria.

They cannot be silver oxide. Silver oxide dissolves in water, and has no
tyndall, the very existance of tyndall proves that there are metallic
particles of silver in the water.

Not true, you got it backwards.  Finely divided silver is black, silver
oxide is brown or tan.

Yes, that is true, the silver particles tended to aggregate.

I have no information on freezing and ionic silver. I am surprised it is
not affected though, since freezing will precipitate every solute I know of
ionic or not.
