Colloidal Silver Water

@ All

I found a couple more interesting recent articles on the Educate yourself site that might be of interest....

The Colloidal Silver versus Ionic Silver 'Controversy'

Why is Colloidal Silver Made with Your Generator More Yellow Than Store Bought CS?

The Deluxe Colloidal Silver Generator

This is from another site regarding "Silver Wire Purity"

Hopefully these don't confuse more than they educate but there it is

Excellent links that seem to support everything zen has said.

In regards to your remarks about water purity vs. 0.0999... or 0.009999....etc. contamination I'd have to say I agree. I'd be much more interested in an assay of a distilled water product I use or buy.
My thought is to furnish my own distilled water from a dehumidifier or a/c cooling unit because of 3 factors:

1.) Cost (I'm paying for it already and the converted irritant [now useful by-product] usually goes down the drain)
2.) Convenience (It's made where you use it)
3.) Purity (It's hard to get purer than atmospheric humidity for absence of heavier element and pollutant content.)

For further purity (to kill biological or organics in the condensate or remove trace elements from the copper or aluminum heat exchanger the humidity condensed on, probably in PPB range) a secondary laboratory type higher temperature distillation using glass and rubber could be done.

PPM of contaminants in drinking water came to my attention when I brewed beer for a living and had to know what was in the water (in the USA you can get a county water assay for free once a year of a sample you provide).
Other further study taught me how (im)pure distilled water can be if its original contaminants have a boiling point less than or equal to water (like alcohol, benzene, etc.), so the distilled water end product all depends on the source water and how it was distilled.

While gadget does have a point about what can lurk in the content of that remaining 0.009999999_% , I'll worry about the water used more.

@ zen

Sorry about the silver grading nomenclature confusion. I should have realized it was the same type of rating as computer uptime.
Thanks for the clarification and the bare minimum suggested generation electrode requirements (silver purity grade 99.9% or .999).

I'm thinking about using the Maple Leafs for electrode stock since 99.99% seems to be the best quality/price balance, and melting them to pour into long, flat, smooth rod ingots formed from plaster of paris so I can keep electrical delivery wires or alligator clips far from the water and make electrode cleaning easy, but working with a graphite crucible while doing that is going to be an interesting time.

I'm trying to get a few (local) folks together that are interested to combine funds and purchase a tube of 25 pcs. to bring down the cost for everyone.

Thanks for the info gents!

Quite so - when using water extracted from evap-coil condensate, whatever is in the air is in the water.

The commercial dehydrators that are expressly made for generating drinking water all seem to have fairly elaborate filtering systems: microbiotic, activated charcoal, ultraviolet, etc. (often multiple filtration).

@ all,

I am just trying to get all the facts as possible before buying the silver.  The part that gadget (or goat) said about the .01 % being bad stuff really made me think, as of course .001 is 10 times better then .01  Sorry if it sounds ridiculous, but we only get one body and I want to make sure I don't harm when I am trying to do good.

I would reconsider using your A/C,  heat and water is a breeding ground things like legionnaires disease, etc..
