OK, now I'm beginning to understand. I've never actually worried about a few sparklies, in the scheme of things I don't consider them to be of any great concern, to others they are maybe, besides, some could be fluff which is in the water with some silver sticking to it could it not, among many others reasons which may not necessarily be huge particles.
I thought most talk was about 'stuff' floating around, or gravel laying in the bottom of containers etc, hence the "need?" for decanting or whatever. Your bit: [...nor have I been able to discover what the max size of a silver particle is that will stay suspended > forever in water.] -Whenever I mention that 'largest' size thing, it's mainly suggesting that I seriously doubt anyone who knows how to make this stuff will ever have particles large enough to NOT be bioavailable. I know there's a lot of talk about particle surface area coverage, and rightly so I spose for those who are concerned, but realistically, when we're talking about squidillions or whatever of silver ions and particles in any given solution, there's going to be an *abundance* of small particles which will suffice for surface area coverage anyway. Calculations can determine the maximum coverage given a particular particle size, that's just calculations. I'm thinking *in the mix*, it's not that big a deal and get the feeling some get hung up on the area coverage thing. In fact, is it not possible for those clusters or crystals to break up again when inside the body, reducing them back down to small particles? Research is lacking I spose, but I seem to remember reading something along those lines a while ago. And what about the HP which is present in our bodies, I suggest that could possibly break those clusters back down to small particles again. OK, I'll stop now, just thinking aloud that's all, like Dok said, one needs an understanding of Physics and Chemistry I guess. Can't discuss much when one hasn't the credentials in support.
