Joseph,

      You are probably making a 20% particulate, 80% ionic silver solution.  It 
works as well as anything else out there so long as the ingredients are 
distilled water and .999 fine silver, and nothing else.

  A website given to the list,

 says: 
  "Please be aware that most all “colloidal silver” generators sold for home 
use produce ionic silver solutions, and not true colloidal silver."


   Is this true of my 12vdc system?


  It also says:
  "Because of the high concentration of silver particles, true silver colloids 
are never clear like water. True colloidal silver with a sufficient 
concentration of particles does not look like water because silver particles -- 
even very small particles -- block light from passing through, making the 
liquid appear darker."


  Mine is always clear but has a mild but distinct metal taste, especially 
towards the bottom of the bottle. My thinking is that my 12vdc system makes 
both colloidal & ionic silver.  
  Any comments?


  Thanks
