Thanks for the answer Matthew, but after reading 197 posts about
Microdyn I'm still not much wiser. A dozen drops of '3200 ppm' Microdyn
may well sterilize a days supply of drinking water  but I'm really
interested in what my own generator can achieve if I was to travel to an
area with a polluted water supply. For example, is there any research,
or even anecdotal evidence, that shows a small DC generator running in
say a half gallon of contaminated water reliably kills bacteria?

Hi, AlchemySA,

Welcome aboard!

In North America, water purification by colloidal silver is
routinely accomplished in Mexico using a high-ppm CS
manufactured by the mill method. If I am not mistaken,
its manufacture is a monopoly of the Mexican government.
The name of the product is 'Microdyn." You can find a
good deal of discussion in the archives concerning Microdyn. I don't
know if it can be imported legally to
the US or other countries.

Best regards,

Matthew

Hello all. I'm a CS user and long time reader of this list, but this is
my first post. The subject of water purification with CS (or with a CS
generator)  has me interested. I have read about this 'use' for CS many
times but never seen this actually quantified. Most of the claims I have

seen have been pretty vague. Whats the recipe?  Is it an ounce of CS in
a gallon of water?  Or a gallon of CS in an ounce of water?  How strong
does the CS need to be? Or do you just run a generator in the water for
a few hours?  Do any members have experience with actually drinking
potentially contaminated water that has been sterilised with CS?
Research I have seen has used pure CS to kill bacteria in a dish, but
I've never seen anything that specifically addresses the issue of
sterilizing reasonably large quantities of contaminated water. Perhaps
you can point me in the right direction.

David
