COSIL 47 - perfect for disinfecting drinking water
COSIL 47 is a Colloidal Silver solution with a high concentration of >30 ppm (parts per million or mg/litre). The high concentration of COSIL 47 has the characteristic golden-yellow color. At low concentrations, colloidal silver is colorless, so it is not visible visually whether nanoparticles of silver are present in the solution.
It is precisely the high concentration of COSIL 47 that makes it extremely suitable for disinfecting contaminated drinking water.
With 10 drops of COSIL 47 per 200 ml of contaminated water, any pathogenic pathogen will be eliminated.
The advantage of using COSIL 47 over other disinfectants is that it does not add any aftertaste to the water, nor does it have any chemical side effects.
What is Colloidal Silver?
Colloidal silver consists of pure water in which nano silver particles are dissolved. A colloid is a molecular particle (in this case silver) with a size of 1 nanometer or smaller.
Because the particles are so small, they can be dissolved in water (suspension) in a special process. In that case, these particles remain in solution and will not separate (sediment).
COSIL 47 is supplied in a 100 ml brown glass bottle.
In unopened packaging, COSIL 47 has a shelf life for many years. Once the bottle has been opened, it can be kept for a few months. It is best to store COSIL 47 both opened and unopened in a cool, dry and, above all, dark place for optimum shelf life.
How does colloidal silver work?
Because silver colloids are so small, they have a strong (positive) ionic charge. This positive charge always looks for a negative discharge.
When colloidal silver comes into contact with (pathogenic) micro-organisms, the positively charged silver colloids will bind to the negatively charged enzymes from these micro-organisms. As a result, these (aerobic) organisms can no longer produce oxygen and thus die without being able to reproduce.
The diagram accompanying the images shows how large particles and micro-organisms can be.
For disinfecting drinking water:
Take a glass of water (200 ml) and add 10 drops of COSIL 47 to it. Stir it and let it stand for five minutes. After that, the water is safe to drink.
To store a used water filter:
The same dilution can also be used to prepare a water filter if it is to be stored after use.
-
Take a glass of water (200 ml) and put 10 drops of COSIL 47 in it, stir it and let it stand for five minutes.
-
Then pour or pump (depending on which filter model) the glass of water through the filter element or through the entire water filter.
-
Drain the water from the filter element/water filter.
-
Store the still damp filter element in a sealed plastic bag. so that it stays moist and does not dry out.
