That's only if you have a septic tank. Most times, if you have a well, it's because you live too far out to get city sewage. Hard to say what CS would do to the sewage treatment plant, but not 'your' problem, right? A while back I ran across an EPA hazardous waste warning for silver products.

Whatever is needed to allow it to contact the surface of the metal long enough to plate out the silver. Easiest way would probably be to cap one end, and pour it in and fill it up, let it stand a few minutes then pour it back out. Marshall mborg...@att.net wrote: Thank You for your reply.

It would probably be useless to plate the inside of copper water pipes with silver. Most water has a lot of minerals in it and it will drop out and cover the insides of the pipes. Of course, if your water is acidic, I don't believe this would happen; you would be in trouble. Why do you say

Silver nitrate is very soluble in water. Upon contact with copper, the copper will replace the silver in the compound, putting a pure silver coating on the copper, and producing copper nitrate in the solution, which is also very soluble. Flushing the pipes for 10 seconds would remove all traces
