There is a silver bonded to copper bar that's marketed to toss into
swimming pools. The dissimilar metals apparently generate a small current
that deposits metal ions into the pool water in the presence of less than
usual levels of chlorine.
Both silver and copper ions have the ability to control bacteria and slime.
Very expensive IMO
Seems like one could take a sheet of copper and heat it enough to melt
silver onto one side and get the same thing. An old electric stove element
set on high should do it.
There are also a few copper ion generation filter systems on the
market...REALLY pricey!
Long ago [late 70s/ early 80s?] there was a solar float being marketed
that released metallic ions that sold for $300. Don't know what
metal...probably copper.
A chunk of styrofoam, a solar panel [such as a solar battery
charger] and some house wiring oughta do that OK.
Zinc also has the same anti microbial properties in ionic form.

Hi again:)
I noticed in the first two digest emails I received
that someone referred to an article on CS uses. Could
someone please point me to the article, repost it or
give ma a link?? I'm really interested in all it can
be used for...
Hmmm..I've heard it makes a good spray for your
swimming pool to cut down in stuff in your pool. Does
anyone know if you can buy a filter with silver for
the swimming pool???
Maybe one of you brainy inventor types could come up
with one;)
Thx
