You need to do some fairly elaborate tests to know exactly what you have in terms of total concentration (ppm) and percentage of ionic versus particle content. A simple dip-and-read meter will only give you a rough idea of the ionic... which only relates to the particle concentration if you've made more detailed measurements *AND* have kept the process consistant between your latest batch and the one you tested... The important thing to realize is that it's NOT REALLY THAT IMPORTANT! All the claims of vendors to the contrary, you can make effective CS using anything from batteries and alligator clips to the most complex computer controlled high voltage systems, and everything in between. Each process has its proponants, many of whom want you to believe that theirs is the only one that works. Unfortunately, that seems suspiciously like a bald-faced lie when we have ample evidence that many different techniques and products are working well. If it's made in pure distilled water, has an approximate concentration of, say, 5 to 15 ppm of silver, and contains a mixture of ions and particles, it's going to be hard to go wrong. Are some of these products better than others? Possibly. I just can't get all that excited about the difference. Be well, Mike D.
