Reid: I did the math early on, and came up with 3200ppm, but when I joined the Silver List 4-5 years ago and started talking about 3200ppm Microdyn, I was admonished by one of the old hands ( more scientific than I) who advised me that I couldn't call it 3200ppm until it had been tested, and to date, I don't think it has.
I'm aware of no studies on Microdyn, but I am aware of a firm that markets a ceramic CS dispenser for home water tanks (which we use) that has reams of governmental and university testing proving the effectiveness of CS which it uses as a sale tool. Its name is Monarca, located in San Luis Potosi. Unfortunately, I do not have a complete telephone number for them, only their local number (811-3352). You will need to get the area code for SLP to make a call. (ps: they don't speak English.) Hope this helps.
