Hi Reid, TJ, Marshall, and Others, Thanks to each and ALL who have considered, experimented and shared expertise so Countless Peoples over the world might have good, safe, delicious Water (something that many of us cannot conceive that everyone does not enjoy at this moment).
I consider this suggestion of CS saturated batting to be an inspiration from The Holy Spirit, since it could bless so many people at very little cost--Perhaps as we perfect this, we can persuade Lions International, Kiwanis, Rotary and many church societies who minister to needy people all around the world to adapt this idea, assemble the needed supplies and distribute the finished product. Let's pursue the perfection of this and Proceed. Communication with each other is Paramount. Sincerely, Richard Harris, 56 yr Fl Pharmacist -----Original Message----- From: Reid Harvey [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2004 9:53 PM To: silver list Subject: CS>Water filter? TJ and Marshall, I'm just wondering what would happen if you saturated that batting with concentrated CS, dried it out, then used this as an anti bacterial filter. Of course you may have little impetus to do this, since iron is your problem, probably not bacteria. But for others wouldn't this make a darn good anti bacterial filter? Presumably the ionic silver would, in drying, react to become silver oxide and silver hydroxide, but it should stay in the batting, if containment were robust. Anyhow, just a thought....... Reid TJ Garland said: Go to a fabric store and buy a couple yards of 50/50 cotton polyester quilt batting to filter out the iron. I made a filter with 2 5 gallon buckets that were drilled and used the fabric between them . It removed almost all the iron. I changed the fabric out once a month on my well.
