Here we go! I understand silver isn’t oxidizer and the kill time historically has been reported as being way too slow. However, America Society for Microbiology says otherwise (link below) and hospitals are having beds, linens and serving trays infused with copper and/or silver to combat things bleach aren’t killing and infection rates are out of control. I am going to start with silver because of all of the complaints about Copper based pool products in TFP posts but I also have Copper Sulfate on hand to add.

If there are any open minded people that want to weigh in and help me with my experiment, I welcome your constructive advice. I have shock on hand and will start to SLAM if it is heading that direction.
I know of people who have done this for several years and they were even surprised it didn’t get slimy or turn green.
It’s not going to turn me blue, that’s only happened 15 times ever. The people that have turned blue used silver that was black. Silver is sticky and the longer it’s brewed the particles stick together and make it darker. I am using 10 ppm so it’s perfectly clear and particles are small. According to people who currently use this method, the particles stick to biologicals and lotions to be trapped in the filter.
2,000 Gallon Jacuzzi J-16 PowerPro with Clearray UV-C with ozone.
Starting Plan
5 ppm Bors (Boric Acid)
TA will be adjusted to 70-80
CYA normal TFP level
2 Gallons of Colloidal silver
Weekly Maintenance
1 Gallon of Colloidal Silver
adjusting PH as needed (borax & MA)
Possible additions of Copper Sulphate, DE or charcoal filter.
Someone recently tried to make yogurt from a recipe she added CS to and the yogurt wouldn’t grow... so it worked fast enough to keep it from growing. It’s not the perfect test but it’s enough for me to try.
I was most inspired to try this after recently hearing of someone’s first hand story as missionary in India and using a colloidal silver maker on Ganges River water and brewed to 10 ppm... and people are drinking it and not getting sick. Maybe it was the electric current running through the silver rods in the water or maybe it was just the silver?
