Colloidal Silver Generator
instructions for use
Congratulations, you have just purchased a top
quality, reliable, Colloidal Silver generator that is
simple to operate, cheap to run and guaranteed for
12 months.
Please carefully read all instructions before
starting
Included in your kit:
• 1 x 240 volt to 28 volt output Colloidal Silver
Generator.
• 2 Silver rods of 99.9% pure fine silver,
2 mm gauge x 140 mm in length.
• 1 black plastic silver rod holder.
• Instructions for use.
You will also require (not included):
• Glass jar 250ml to 2000ml (2 litre). Size is not
critical.
• Distilled water.

Silver rods
The silver rods will gradually be used over time,
but should last for years with normal use. They will
make over 200 litres of Colloidal Silver at 5ppm
(parts per million) concentration before being used
up completely. Only the rod carrying the positive
current (red alligator clip) is used and becomes

Never use sterling silver as it is only 92.5% pure and

may contain nickel which is a toxic metal.

thinner, therefore swap them around from time to
time to even out the wear. New, pure silver rods are
available from the suppliers of this unit.

Water purity
Water purity is vital. It is one of the main factors
that control how small the particles of silver will
be. Generally the smaller the particles of silver the
better.
Only distilled water should be used. Anything else
will produce an inferior Colloidal Silver.
You can provide your own distilled water by using a
home distiller, but generally it is just as economical
and less trouble to purchase it ready-made from
most New Zealand supermarkets, we use the brand
Pure Dew in our commercial manufacture.
The more pure the water, the slower the reaction
process to make Colloidal Silver. Depending on the
starting purity and temperature of the water it may
take twenty or thirty minutes for the generator to
slowly build up sufficient silver in a litre of water to
bring conductivity to the point where generation
is clearly starting (or sometimes more, up to two
hours for the highest grade purified water).
This starting point is indicated by what looks like
smoke drifting around in the water near the silver
rod connected to the red terminal.
If you have trouble getting generation started you
might consider adding 10- 20% of previously made
(or purchased) Colloidal Silver, to the distilled water.
This should not affect the quality of your Colloidal
Silver, and will speed up the process.
3
Warming the water slightly may also help speed up
the generation process. However, the best colloidal
silver is usually made slowly. Our commercial
machine takes 24 hours to slowly generate a batch
of colloidal silver.
Never use tap water to generate Colloidal Silver.
Minerals, especially chlorine, can combine with the
silver to produce inferior compounds such as silver
chloride.

How to operate
We recommend you start by making a 5ppm
solution of Colloidal silver as this is the level at
which it starts being effective. Commercial Colloidal
Silver manufacturers make up to a 10ppm solution.
Step 1: Fill a 250ml to 2000ml size jar with distilled
water. The size of the container is not critical as the
Colloidal Silver particles will disperse evenly when
the water is stirred afterward. A one litre glass jar is
ideal.
Step 2: Remove the two silver rods from their
packaging and insert them into the two holes in
the black holder. Then clip the black alligator clip
onto the end of each one of the silver rods and the
red alligator clip onto the other (as illustrated in
Fig 1). The order is not important as both rods are
identical. These clips have a dual purpose; to carry
the low voltage current to and from the generator,
and to hold the silver rods in place. You can bend
the tips of the silver rods slightly to stop them
falling through the holes on the black plastic.
4
If the jar you use is shallower than the silver rods,
the rods can be left protruding further out of the
top of the black plastic holder, and the alligator
clips moved further down. Even if less than half
the silver rod is immersed in the water it will still
work. The rods should not touch the bottom or
sides of the glass as this affects the generation and
increases the build up on the rods.

Fig 1.

The New Zealand Authorities recommend that you

do not consume Colloidal Silver higher than 10ppm.
You will find that making a solution much higher
than 10ppm is difficult with this type of generator
(Maximum is usually around 13-14ppm).

5
Step 3: Insert the silver rods into the distilled water
using the top rim of the jar as a support. Keep the
rods parallel to each other. You may need to bend
them slightly.
Step 4: Plug the generator into a normal 240 volt
household outlet and switch it on. The red light
should glow. You are now making Colloidal Silver.
At first the reaction proceeds very slowly. For
quite a while nothing may seem to be happening.
But in due course you should see a smoke-like
mist drifting in the water around the silver rod
connected to the positive red alligator clip.
Begin timing from this point. This normally happens
within twenty to thirty minutes for normal distilled
water, but it can be very much longer, up to two
hours for 0ppm pharmaceutical grade purified
water, or one hour for the Pure Dew water.
If generation starts too quickly this is an indicator
that the water is not pure and we suggest you seek
a different supply.
Step 5: Time your total generation time from the
moment you see this smoke-like mist. Use the
following guidelines for varying amounts of distilled
water to either 5 or 10ppm.

Before suspecting your generator of

malfunctioning, do a test using tap water. The mist
should quickly appear with five to ten minutes.

6
Container size 5 ppm 10 ppm
250 ml water 15 minutes 25 minutes
500 ml water 30 minutes 50 minutes
750 ml water 45 minutes 75 minutes
1 litre water 60 minutes 100 minutes
2 litres water 120 minutes 200 minutes
Some experimentation with generating time, and
water quality, will probably be necessary until
experience is gained. You may decide to purchase a
Colloidal Silver PPM Meter and measure the ppm as
you generate. This takes away all the guess work.
Step 6: During the generation process, the
generator should be switched off and the silver rod
assembly removed from the water and the rods
wiped with tissue or a paper towel. Then swap the
alligator clips from one rod to the other. Then put
back in the water again and switch the generator
back on.
Wiping off the light brown coating that forms on
the rods and swapping the clips, results in a cleaner
colloidal silver. It is not essential but you will have
a better product and helps keep the wear of the
silver rods even. We recommend cleaning the rods
and swapping the clips every 20 to 30 minutes.
Be sure to turn off or unplug the generator unit
before removing the silver rods from the water, as

Always switch off the generator before removing

the rods. Do not rest the rods on a stainless bench
while the generator is on.

the rods can short circuit together on a stainless
steel bench top and cause minor sparking, or even
overheating of the generator.
Step 7: When you have finished generating, switch
off the unit, remove the rods and briefly stir the
Colloidal Silver with a non-metal stirrer. Then filter
out any silver rod sediment from the solution by
pouring it through a paper towel or clean cloth, or
just allow it to settle overnight and then decant it.
It will probably still look a little cloudy at this stage,
but when the Colloidal Silver has been left to clear
overnight and settle out, it should be clear and
have a discernible golden colour when compared
with plain water.
5ppm colloidal silver has a slight yellow tinge to it
10ppm colloidal silver has a light golden hue to it
15ppm colloidal silver has a dark golden hue
almost purple look to it
If you should accidentally leave the generator on
too long and end up with a dark gold solution,
you can slowly dilute it with more distilled water,
while still generating and slowly stirring with a non
metallic spoon.
Colloidal Silver should have a slight metallic taste.
Step 8: If you prefer, you can afterwards shine up
the electrodes again with a scouring pad. However
this is not necessary, just a thorough wipe with a
paper towel is normally sufficient. If you do use a
scouring pad, also wipe the rods afterward with a
paper towel.

How to store your Colloidal Silver
Once you have made high quality Colloidal Silver it
is important to protect it and ensure that the silver
particles maintain their positive electrical charge
and stay separated from each other in suspension.
Like charges repel each other and anything that
removes this positive charge from the particles will
degrade the effectiveness of the Colloidal Silver by
causing the particles to clump together.
Magnetic fields of home appliances like
refrigerators, and some cheap plastics can cause
this process to occur, and will also usually darken
the solution.
Colloidal Silver is therefore best stored out of the
refrigerator, and in a dark glass container. Clean
beer or ginger beer bottles are ideal. Clear glass can
also be used, provided it is kept in a dark place such
as a closed cupboard or cardboard carton.

What is Colloidal Silver?
A colloid is group of extremely small, electrically
charged particles, held in suspension. Colloidal
Silver Liquid contains a number of these
particles suspended in pure distilled water. The
measurement of the silver content in the water
is usually in parts per million (PPM) or in micro
siemens.
Silver, as a colloid, is reported to kill over 600 disease
causing organisms like, bacteria, viruses, fungi and
parasites. This happens in a matter of minutes upon
direct contact. The silver does not attack them
directly, but destroys the enzymes they depend on
for oxygen. Therefore resistant strains should not be
able to develop and the body does not develop a
tolerance.
Silver has been used for 1000’s of years to keep
water pure on sailing ships, by the Romans to
treat wounds, right through to modern times
where it is used to purify water on spacecraft and
aircraft. Recently silver based medical dressings
were approved by the FDA (Federal Drug
Administration).
Silver is an essential trace mineral for our body, and
almost everybody who takes Colloidal Silver reports
superior health and a more effective immune
system.
You can take it internally (2 teaspoons a day), or
apply it externally as a spray, in a nebuliser or on a
soaked pad. Colloidal Silver also works equally well
for animals and plants.
