Thanks for the response, Paul, but I think the testing will be better for determining the truth here. I've been getting WaterOz ionic silver water for over a year by the GALLON, which comes in a slightly fogged PLASTIC bottle, and it works fine MONTHS LATER -- my culture reports are PROOF of that. Maybe the problem for you is more in the *way* you're making the CS... I don't know. Besides, why would dark brown bottles be necessary at all? Why not just store CS in clean, clear GLASS bottles and through a black cloth over it or keep it in a cupboard/closet?! I plan on doing that with the WaterOz -- even tho I *seemingly* don't need to. The objective is to keep UV light out; that's not too hard. Unless I'm wrong about what UV can penetrate; *does* UV penetrate black cloth? Also, what about keeping CS in a refridgerator?

Plastic > (even used Hydrogen Peroxide bottles) seem to affect the CS)" > Paul replies: The proof seem to be in the pudding. I first used an old plastic hydrogen peroxide bottle. Had wonderful results right off the bat, but they tapered off quite quickly--3 or 4 days. Made a new batch, put into the cleaned H2O2 bottle, same thing again. Since I've been using the heavy brown glass bottles, the stuff seems to last much longer (I use a batch in about 2 weeks, so can't say if it will last any longer). I also use a nasal inhaler which originally contained Atrovent. It is plastic. I put a small amount in it and throw it away the remainer every couple of days, because after that it stops helping my chronic sinus infection. In fact, I am wondering what the shelf life of CS seems to be. Assuming that the plastic somehow changes the electrical characteristics of the solution, without causing it to precipitate, I'd like to think that properly stored, it would remain effective until the colored particles had settled or precipitated or whatever they ultimately would do. Can anyone else shed some light on this? Regarding beer and vitamin bottles, only experimentation will tell. When I get my Hanna PWT (it was due via UPS yesterday and didn't show up--) I'll be better able to tell if anything settles or precipitates over time. I think Christian's ZetaTester or anecdotal evidence will be the only ways to determine how long the stuff lasts in any kind of container. Maybe chc's kinesiology (spelling?) will also help here. I'll be anxious to see what kind of results we get when we actually start testing. Grace & Peace-- paul bembower -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
