Interesting.
How about boiling the water after collection and the silver part in order to be extra sure? Or you think this is not necessary and the water will be very safe to drink?
I have read about killing germs with copper, don't know about silver. I wonder how effective both will be in keeping water free from germs.

Boiling the water can help to eliminate any parasites,germs and bacteria but the water may contain polluted particles like heavy metals and chemical substances which needs certain purification before making it completely safe to drink.

Heavy metals and chemicals, can be filtered by soil.

Germs, parasites etc. can be eliminated with copper and i think silver as well. Ancients used that.
Boiling the water works, but ruins the pH.
Must be around 7 to be ideal for drinking, and boiling it will drop it below 6.5

Yup, that is why boiling the water is not enough. Cheesy

Well, what is the best filtration system we have? Reverse Osmosis or anything better?
