What purity of silver wire should be used?
The silver wires we use are .9999 pure. This is the best that is readily available. We order our silver directly from the refinery in large quantities. The refinery we use is Handy & Harmon. They can be reached at 1-800-24-KARAT. This Four 9 grade of silver is the best that is readily available. NOTE: Many companies incorrectly refer to silver wire purity. Three 9 silver or .999 silver is the mathematical equivalent of 99.9%. Three 9 silver is the minimum grade for colloidal silver production. The next step up in grade is Four 9 silver or .9999, which is mathematically equivalent to 99.99%. The highest grade of silver that man can make commercially is Five 9 silver or .99999, which is mathematically equivalent to 99.999%. (Five 9 silver is an incredibly difficult purity to manufacture, and requires extremely precise manufacturing methods and very costly equipment. Expect to pay 5-10 times more for this ultra-pure silver; if indeed you can even find it.) The error you will come across i
