Potable Water and Silver

[freewill2008]

Are there any water purification experts out there?

I keep hearing more and more about the effectiveness of silver as a
purification agent. Grandma used to drop a silver dollar in the milk
jug to keep it fresh. Hospitals are discovering that silver is
effective on staph infections. I recently purchased a small bottle of
silver-based water purification agent for the potable water tank in my
class B.

So I wonder . . . why couldn't a person just drop a couple ounces of
silver in the bottom of the water tank and have a more pure fresh water
source? The cost would be about $15 for two ounces.

Best reason is because you can buy a gallon of Bleach which works better
for less then a dollar. A gallon is enough to sterilize an awful lot of water.

I've used bleach to flush and purify a system before filling. Would
you suggest putting bleach in the water you are going to use? The
silver would sit in the tank permanently.

Of course I would suggest putting bleach in the fresh water system to
ensure that no bacteria grows in the system while it is being used. Isnt
that what most municipalities do to your drinking water.

There are two things to do.

1. Completely disinfect the entire fresh water system at least once a year.

2. Treat the water that you use in the fresh water system unless you have a
good filter system that will be used instead of the disinfectant.

Bob, Bluebird beat you to it. Many Wanderlodges (mid
80's for sure) came with a whole house silver
impregnated water filter. Very expensive, very
effective. Too bad many unknowing owners replaced them
with something cheaper. They had an extremely long
life, and probably didn't need replacing.
