Re: What is the best colloidal silver Do-It-Yourself guide on the web?
You can use sodium in the water but not
table salt . Sodium carbonate is recommended, which can be produced by baking sodium bicarb, because it helps prevent the electrodes from becoming black and it speeds up the process by reducing the resistance of the distilled water which increases the flow of current earlier in the production. Things begin very slowly and slowly speed up the more silver that enters the water as the resistance lowers. If you use sodium carbonate the slow start is eliminated and it can complete faster with the added benefit that the electrode(s) should not become plated. It is recommended by the following forum

You do really need some form of stirrer. Some use bubblers and other people prefer magnetic stirrers. You can make a basic magnetic stirrer yourself with some basic parts. Youtube has some really basic ones but getting a Pulse Width Modulation device from eBay would allow better control of a fan to mount the neodymium magnets. An old PC fan of around 1600rpms is ideal. You could also buy one but making one could provide better results IMO. There is a PWM device on eBay which has soft start which gives good speed control. You will also need a magnetic stir bar. Having an extra neodymium magnet can make it easier removing the magnetic stir bar without having to dip things in to the water, you just put the magnet onto the stir bar on the bottom and move it up to the top. You could just leave the magnet stuck to the stir bar so that you can pour out the
Colloidal Silver .
That forum also recommends reducing the ionic silver, some on this forum would disagree but I find it far superior for my usage.
BTW you can buy 9999 silver wire on ebay etc. The longer the length bent around to form a spade shape, the higher the current can be.
