Actually silver chloride is slightly soluable in water. The solubility is listed as .000089 grams per 100 cc of cold water and .0021 grams per 100 cc of hot water. (1) This reference does not say what temperatures cold and hot are. But in ppm this works out to be .89 ppm for cold water to 21 ppm for hot water. Although this is very limiting, it is in the range of what people are producing as colloid. I don't think you can dismiss the possibility of silver chloride producing problems over the long haul despite it's low solubility. Marshall 1.
