John, all colloidal silver products produced by electrolysis contain silver
ions. For example, Franks's Mesosilver has an ionic concentration of 3.9ppm.
See his lab report at
http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/cpr09/cpr_09.html
Other products, such as Mild Silver Protein (MSP), Silver Acetate, and so on,
are silver compounds and are almost completely ineffective as
antibacterial/antifungal/antiviral agents.
The weak silver ion content is what gives Mesosilver it's rather poor
antibacterial properties. The particles in Mesosilver are inert, as shown in
Steve Quinto's analysis at

A typical 3 nines cs generator may produce between 5uS and 10uS,
well-designed constant current cs generators may reach 15uS to 20uS, Trem
William's SG7 can reach 45uS, and my latest double chamber cs generator just
produced a Hanna PWT reading of 74.8uS

The particles produced in these generators is silver hydroxide, which is
insoluble, inert, and has no biological activity. You can get an idea of the
amount of hydroxide by shining a laser pointer through the solution to check
for Tyndall.
The test is quite sensitive in a completely dark room. The amount of
scattering increases with hydroxide content. However, it only shows particles
larger than about 63nm.
The particles do not affect the conductivity of the solution. A Hanna PWT can
be used to determine the ionic content since 1uS = 1ppm.
However, the PWT also responds to contaminants, such as bleach, vinegar,
ammonia, etc. In order to get confidence the Hanna reading is reasonable, you
need to verify how much silver was liberated during the brew. The Faraday
equation tells you this, but it is somewhat cumbersome due to the unit
conversions needed. I simplified the equations as follows:
Hours = (uS * Litres) / (F * I)
I = (uS * Litres) / (F * Hours)
Litres = (F * I * Hours) / uS
uS = (F * I * Hours) / Litres
where
F = 4024
Hours = brew time
I = current in Amperes
Litres = volume of dw
uS = PWT reading (1uS = 1ppm)
In addition, a simple salt test using canning or pickling salt produces a
pale blue dispersion of silver chloride at 5uS or so. The dispersion turns
whiter as the ion concentration increases.
Does this help?
