Colloidal Silver FAQs

Why does my conductivity meter indicate 20 PPM instead of the 40 PPM advertised?

Conductivity meters (TDS meters) are designed to measure the conductivity of the water, and they are therefore calibrated with a saline solution. However, silver has an electric potential two times lower than salt: to obtain an approximate estimate of the concentration of the silver solution, you must multiply the result provided by your TDS by two. 2 x 20 = 40 PPM. Furthermore, testers that measure up to 999 PPM have a margin of error of 2%, or 20 PPM. These devices are therefore somewhat unreliable. 

For qualitative results, you need to use a spectrophotometer instead of a basic meter for measuring dissolved solids, which was never intended to measure colloidal silver.
