PPM refers to parts per million in a certain volume of solution. It seems that most refer to this volume as a teaspoon, but it should be noted that this volume can vary. If you have a teaspoon (the "volume" or liquid) that has 5 ppm silver colloid in it, then two teaspoons will give you 10 parts of silver, as if you had taken one teaspoon of a solution of 10 ppm (per teaspoon). Likewise, if you took only one-half teaspoon you would theoretically get 2.5 particles for that volume. By letting the water evaporate or boiling it down, then you would increase the concentration of silver per unit volume of solution.
The same principle holds for multiples of the volume of that particular concentraion, which is why Candace was recommending that adjustments in amounts be multiples of the teaspoon. Is this correct Jeanette? Tom Clayton Have been learning a lot from all of you and just had one of my questions answered without asking (what great mind readers you are!)But- have another. I gather increased temp and increased time increase ppm. Is there any other way you can increase ppm? Also, if you are taking a solution rated at 5ppm, would you take 2 teaspoonfuls of that solution to get the same benefit as one teaspoonful of a solution with 10ppm. Thanks, Jackie -
