I wanted to share an experience with the list. Yesterday I was on a website which touted the small particle size of silver made by their generator as proven by a lab analysis to show it's superiority. When I read the figures I was very, very impressed. I contacted the manufacturer to ask for a copy of the assay (certificate of analysis). The person responded: "There's a picture right on my website". Well I was looking for a certificate and a picture doesn't say anything about particle size. Right away I felt like the person was trying to sidestep the issue. Again I asked: Don't you have a certificate. "I don't think I got one" was the response. This time I was really skeptical that someone would pay to have their product analyzed and not get a certificate of analysis. They told me to contact the lab that it was tested at. No problem as this was a company that I do business with currently. The man at the lab who tested the product gave me a different set of numbers than this person told me and had on their website...larger numbers. Now the numbers didn't look so impressive - still good mind you. I called the manufacturer back and told him what the lab said. "He must have made a mistake. Let me call him and I'll call you back." Never heard back so I called the man at the lab today to confirm the numbers again. He told me he hadn't gotten a call from the mfg. I asked him, "Didn't this mfg. get a certificate?" I asked. "He certainly did, he paid for it." was their response. Next I go back to the mfg's site and see the numbers changed to much closer figures (still not accurate) to what the lab gave me. The sad thing is that I'm sure this mfg's generator is excellent quality as others have attested to and I probably would have done business with them had I not found this "error". I wonder how many other people saw those numbers and bought without verifying, thinking that they were getting something better than what they got. Buyer Beware!
