Boiling the water removes absorbed carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide makes silver carbonate, but not much unless heavily carbonated.

Yvonne,

Why are you boiling the water before use? I believe a stirrer might do the same thing if you're looking for Brownian movement. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yvonne Prete" <[email protected]>

Thanks to everyone who offered me answers to my questions. I'll discuss the ionic vs small particle question with SOTA and let you know what they say.

For several months I tested my home-made solution with an expensive and
tedious meter using n expensive solution.  As long as I used distilled
water, heated it to boiling. and left the silver wires in for twenty
minutes, I got 5 ppm of whatever I was making.
