I have been talking to REFINERS about silver (the people that make/manufacture 
the silver).  In order to get .99999 fine silver, they need to start out with 
.999999 silver because just running it through the machining process will turn 
the 6 nine into 5 nine.  And trying to get a .99999 fine guarantee out of them 
is impossible (at least in my attempts it has been).  Even if you could get 
some five 9  silver, you sure as heck aren't gonna get it for no 32 bucks for 
10 feet.  The price on it is astronomical!!  Just call around and ask the 
refiners!

In order to get .9999 fine, they (the refiners) start out with .99999 silver 
because once again, doing the machining adds impurities.  It is extremely hard 
to even get a guarantee for .9999 fine silver (once again, at least in my 
attempts).

3 nine fine, or .999 fine is a safe silver to use.  People keep talking about 
how you should use .9999 fine, but think about this, unless you are making your 
silver under sterile laboratory conditions, you are getting impurities.  Have 
you ever looked at the air through which a ray of sunlight is passing?  Have 
you seen all the dust particles?  These particles are falling into your water, 
and you are colloidalizing them.  Did you touch your silver wire while cleaning 
it?  If so, you just added body oil and salt to it.  You think that .9999 fine 
is gonna give you pure colloidal silver?  I think not.  Get a grip and come to 
terms with reality, we live in a dirty world!

.999 fine is great to use and you should have no problems with it.  If you want 
to spend a little more, and you can get a written guarantee for .9999 fine, 
then go with that.  But in my opinion, 3 nine is just as good as 4 nine, beings 
that when making 3 nine, the refiners start out with 4 nine (just like the 
above mentioned .99999 and .9999 fine).

I hope this has helped clear the controversy a little.
