I assume you are using 20 ppm CS to start out with Trem? Which *if* my math is correct will more than produce a 0.03 ppm solution, it would actually produce ~ 0.078 ppm.
If you used 15 ml (3 teaspoons) of 20 ppm CS (which contains 20 mg silver in 1,000 ml) you are adding 0.3 mg of silver to a gallon of water. 0.3 mg of silver added to 3.84 l of water = ~ 0.078 ppm If you start with 10 ppm CS, you would end up with ~0.039 ppm by adding 3 teaspoons to one gallon of water. Not too far off from the 0.03 ppm that I recall being the concentration of CS necessary to keep water sterile. Garnet Conversion Factors: A gallon of water is 3840 ml or 3.84 l. 1 ppm = 1 mg of silver / liter of water 1 teaspoon = 5 ml On Tue, 2004-07-13 at 11:54, Trem wrote: > I cannot locate the information but I distinctly recall the mention of 1 > teaspoon per > gallon being sufficient.
