Ions, being dissolved in the water, are not going to settle out and they are too small to see with a laser light. [no TE] If anything does settle out, those particulates that do, don't meet the definition of colloid..too big.
Those that don't settle out are colloids...very small.
A colloidal particle can also be too small to see with a laser. It won't settle out either.

Settling is far more effective as a filter than any filter.

My son has complained before that his colloidal silver has settled out. Today I saw with my own eyes two jars of it which I'd made a couple months ago. They had no Tyndall. Do you think that might mean the ionic silver is settled out, too? Could I learn the answer to that with a pwt meter? I no longer strain my CS because I don't want the chemicals from the filters to contaminate. I'm very careful about cleaning the jars and shake distilled water in each and empty that before I add the distilled water to make CS. I use a Colloid Master AC. I just wipe the silver bars with paper towel. My stuff doesn't settle out at home. Do you think keeping it near a refrigerator and microwave could harm it?

If one has settled out and you have no other, would it be bad to shake it up and then use some? Daughter in law got food poisoning yesterday it sounds like from a gyro at the Greek Festival possibly. She said she used some of the CS and it helped (not shaken up).
