Assuming a reasonable safety margin for both the CS and copper, we're probably talking about 10-20 PPB CS as still being somewhat active at least to prevent bacterial growth. That would constitute a dilution of about 200X-400X, or as low as a quarter ounce of 4 PPM CS in a gallon of water. Certainly still in the ballpark of a non-homeopathic CS concentration. Roger
