One tip. In the old days. You first boiled the water. Then let it cool. Pour it in the desired container. And then add the silver. It helped maintain it, for longer periods.

According to my research glass can be a problem as well. Although there is ultraviolet glass that allows the uv light to get through. But regardless it sounds like you would have to leave the bottle (glass or plastic) in the sun for at least an entire week before it would kill protozoa which have larger cell walls. That is things like Giardia and Cryptosporidium which are parasites. So this method doesn't sound like a very good method to me. Just saying.

@@YeshuaKingMessiah Royal Dalton sell some good systems as well as well as a company called Sarah Maxx, something like that they sell filters that are comparable turkey and are cheaper somewhat. We’ve been getting them from mainly Berkey for about 10 years now we always get the ones that filter out everything even the chemicals as well aschlorine and fluoride. I think those are the extra adapters.

im 56 years old now when iwas 13 years old my two younger brothers and i stayed with our grandma i saw a couple of times drink water from a jug in fridge but every time id go too get a drink because we had an deep well lol kind with a bucket , but the water smelled of a faint bleach sent . as it turned out she would do that and I also remember her giving me a cup actual cup pouring it into the well then we wouldn't drick it from the well for about a week ! im just glad i grew up with a grandmother that taught us these things . i think in a tight Clorox would suffice ! no water would probably be worse !

What do you think about Seychelle water filters? Their technology is described as micro filtration or ionic absorption.

I have been thinking on the matter and I believe I have come up with a method that utilizes a commonly available element but I'll hold off on releasing any information on it until I have confirmation from the labs.

Bismuth? That would theoretically work just like the silver.
