Does It Matter What Type Of Water I Use With My Colloidal Silver Machine?

Different types of water create different types of PPM measurements.

PPM & Colloidal Silver: What You Need to Know

1. Water Quality Matters

• Minerals in water = cloudy CS.

  
  

  Silver particles attach to minerals, forming larger, cloudy particles.

• Clear CS requires mineral-free water such as:

  
  

  • Distilled water

  • Reverse osmosis water

  • De-ionized water

• 
  

• If only mineral-rich water is available:

  
  

  Brew 10–20 minutes or until water becomes too cloudy.

2. Cloudy CS – Is It Still Effective?

• Cloudy CS can still work, but it has larger silver particles.

• Example: Missionaries in India used Ganges River water and saw results against waterborne pathogens.

• Effectiveness depends more on particle size than appearance.

3. Understanding PPM (Parts Per Million)

• Myth: Higher PPM = better effectiveness.

• Truth: Small particles are what kill pathogens, not higher amounts.

• Research shows:

  
  

  • 2.5–5 ppm: Highly effective at killing pathogens.

  • 10 ppm: Slightly stronger, but not significantly.

  • Above 10 ppm: No added benefit — may even be less effective.
