For human usage, we consider distilled water to make completely safe CS. The minks on this ranch only live 7 months before their coats are taken from them. If they can get argyria in seven months, I don't think it matters. (Blue mink coats? There might be a market there.)

You'd have water leaking out the holes the wires come through, not to mention the wire and/or brass washer would also start eroding and contaminating the water with copper, zinc, nickel, etc... So I figure the coins (or bars) would be replaced when they got thin enough they would start exposing stuff. They would have to disassemble the cell and inspect the electrodes a few times during the first month of operation to get familiar with how they erode with use. < That is why I am using clear tubing, so the condition of the silver rods can be observed. They wouldn't leak if they are sealed on the outside of the tube with silicone. There is no real water pressure to speak of here, the water flows through, but it shuts off at a point before the device is implemented into the water hose. Several folks have mentioned already existing devices that are used to sanitize water. They inject silver into the water in the parts-per-billion range. I called the one company someone mentioned to me - www.thomsontec.com - and they deliver 30% silver/70% copper in the ppb range (resulting in 1 - 3 ppb), US$2300, with the silver/copper bar lasting about six months. I'm not trying to sanitize the mink ranchers water, I'm trying to brew 160 gallons of CS per day. Since it will be mixed with dry feed (producing a mash), it seems to me that it needs to be 15-20 ppm at least to really protect the animals from the legion of diseases they are fighting.
