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?

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.

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 -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
