Anyone here familiar with the use of Silver Peroxide on UL backpacking trips?
In lab tests it was deemed to be on par with chlorine as a water treatment option, but unlike chlorine, it breaks down into nothing but water and oxygen, it leaves no taste and is stabile in solution to 90deg centigrade.
However, for all of that, it seems to only be used for large scale water treatment.
Any idea on its suitability for backpacking purposes?
you’re still going to have the silver to deal with as a heavy metal… on bigger plants, they can filter out this precipitate
Hardly a concern.
If using silver peroxide as water treatment, you wont be doing any sort of serious filtering to begin with, and the water will already have plenty of heavy metals along with other microscopic matter floating about in it.
A few parts per million of ionized silver is an absolute drop in the bucket.
