Hi Revonda, It is not necessary to spend the big bucks to have a complete lab analysis done, especially when you it may be difficult to locate two labs that give similar results. Then you have to decide which one is right. The thing you are really interested in is the ionic content, which you can measure with a Hanna Pure Water Tester (PWT). With normal cs, the reading in microsiemens (uS) is equal to the ion content in parts-per-million (ppm). In other words, 1 uS = 1 ppm. The main cost of an analysis is the the particulate content. This is of no real interest since it is composed of oxides of silver, which are biologically inert and useless against bacteria and viruses. So why waste the money? If you are using the 3 nines process, you will find large variations in ppm due to the fast rise in current near the end of the brew. In this case, a full lab report is also not worth the money, since you will probably never make another brew like it. If you are using a constant current generator, such as the Silverpuppy or Silvergen, you can calculate the amount of silver released at the anode using the Faraday equations. Roger Schafley's Mercury is an extremely useful program, since it will figure out how to do the calculations for you, and you don't have to mess with the algebra. You can download the program here: http://archives.math.utk.edu/software/msdos/calculus/mrcry209/.html Now all you need are the unit conversions. Here is a list you can copy to a file, then load into Mercury: Cou = I * sec ; total number of Coulombs esec = I / 1.60217733e-19; electrons per second gm = k * I * sec ; Faraday's equation isin = esec / sqin ; ions per sq. in. per sec isnm = isin / 6.45e14 ; ions per square nanometer per sec k = 107.868 / 96485 ; Coulombs required per gram of silver lt = 3.785 * gal ; convert gallons to litres lt = ml / 1000 ; convert millilitres to litres mg = gm * 1000 ; convert grams to milligrams ml = 29.57 * oz ; convert ounce to milliliters phr = ppm / hrs ; ppm per hour ppm = mg / lt ; convert to ppm sec = hrs * 3600 + mnt * 60 ; convert hours to seconds uAin = 1e6 * I / sqin ; current density in uA per sq in Now you can append your data parameters. Here's the ones I use for Godzilla, one of my cs generators: I = 1.544e-3 ; current in Amperes ml = 2000 ; volume of dw in millilitres mnt = 0 ; minutes ppm = 20 ; target ppm sqin = 11.5 ; wetted area When you ask Mercury to solve this, you will get a list of values like the following: Cou = 0.001544*sec = +35.7789149701487 I = +0.001544000000000000 sec = 3600*hrs = +23172.8723899927 esec = +9.6368858246172E+15 gm = 0.0062141627320309*hrs = +0.040000000000000 {= +1 / 25 } k = +0.00111797688759911 isin = +8.3799007170584E+14 sqin = +11.500000000000000 {= +23 / 2 } isnm = +1.29920941349743 lt = +2.000000000000000 gal = +0.52840158520476 {= +400 / 757 } ml = +2000.0000000000000 mg = 6.2141627320309*hrs = +40.000000000000 oz = +67.6361176868448 {= +200000 / 2957 } phr = 20/hrs = +3.1070813660154 ppm = +20.000000000000000 hrs = +6.4369089972202 mnt = 0.0000000000000000 uAin = +134.260869565217 {= +3088 / 23 } The ppm is the 4th parameter from the bottom. You can compare this with the uS reading on the Hanna and see how much silver was converted to oxide. If doesn't make any sense, don't worry. Just measure the conductance with the Hanna and try to keep it similar from one run to the next. The exact value doesn't matter as much as consistency. This allows you to determine the amount you need to take depending on the state of your health. For example, if you have a sore throat and you know you are coming down with something, it's nice to be able to plunk the Hanna in a fresh brew and know the cs will be strong enough to kill the bugs.
