Peter, The part of EIS that contributes to your Hannah PPM reading is mostly the ions in the solution. This is because your Hanna meter is measuring conductivity, and has no way to measure particle quantity or size. The particles don't contribute much if anything to the reading. So, I suspect what you are making has a higher percentage of silver ions than does the Meso silver.
As to which is actually more effective, we have been down that discussion a few times on this list, and I don't think we yet have a clear winner. Probably both types are effective, so use what works for you. If you believe colloidal particles are best, just drink more of the CS your are producing and you will get more particles into your system, and have less out of pocket expense. By the way, a strong Tyndall effect certainly indicates the presence of particles, and usually the larger the particles, the brighter is the light beam. Tyndall effect thus depends on both quantity and size of particles. Your brew may very well have a good percentage of particles, but they are very small and therefore do not cause much of a Tyndall effect. List wisdom says smaller particles are best. --Steve Y. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter M.
