So my question was: having a solution of ionic silver already in hand -
in jar - were you saying that any addition to the solution, whether an
ionic or covalent compound, or an element, would cause the silver ions
to regain neutral charge, precipitate out, be driven to hydroxide or
whatever, and if that were the case, what would be their likely fate?
well, wouldn't it? An ion by definition is just waiting for something
to bond to, so wouldn't it do just that in the presence of anything at
all? Well, anything in solution anyway. And whatever it is is not what
we are after in any case.
OTOH, were you saying that in order to Make CS you need pure water, in
which case I misunderstood your drift when you said, "The ionic silver
is only in the water because there is nothing else in the water. ..."
No, if there is anything else in the water you won't end up with ionic
silver, you will end up with who knows what.
Here in this list they like to use EIS, or electrically isolated
silver, so I will use that now for clarity; in order to make EIS one
needs pure water, or one will end up with God only knows what witches
brew of silver etc compounds that might work anyway, and might be okay
in small quantities or might just turn one blue.
More fun, I am thinking,

I hope this has helped some.... Kathryn
At least it brought up some new questions,
Thanks, Malcolm
