Although the below statement is true, in that everything that comes
off those electrodes is ions, some colloid is produced when ions convert
to metallic silver with the addition of an electron to the ion -after-
it leaves the electrode.
Other colloidal particles are made as well...mostly silver hydroxide and
some silver oxides.
There is no question that silver ions kill germs or that ions present the
largest possible surface area.
There is no smaller "particle" possible.

Ode, What do you mean when you say that ions present the largest
possible surface area? How big is an ion? How big of a surface area are
you talking about? Are all ions the same size?
Thanks.

## A silver ion is about 0.000252 microns in diameter.
It can vary a little with energetic state, but in any practical manner,
they are all the same size.
An ion takes up space and has mass, therefore it is technically a
particle..and that technicality is often used to confuse people on purpose
in order to mis-represent products...as is, less often, the obverse of
that technicality.
The smaller that a particle is, the more surface area it presents @ a given
PPM.
A single BB sized particle in some volume of water might be 10 PPM and
present a surface area of [guessing] 1/4 square inch.
The same amount of that material in the same amount of water with a
particle size of 0.000252 microns will present several acres of surface area.
