i wanted to let folks know that in addition to the silver magnet i am now distributing trickle tanks.
just a run down on the difference between the two
a silver magnet removes silver from wash water and fixer through electrolysis.
it can get a lot of the silver out, but leaves around 50 parts / million in your waste stream.
a trickle tank will remove more silver from your waste water and spent fixer.
it will get your waste stream down to around 5 parts / million or less.
it removes the silver through ionic transfer.
when you send in the silver magnet's electrode you get paid for the silver on the electrode.
you don't get paid for all of it, there are some fees involved, but not much.
the bottom half of the trickle tanks are mailed to a refiner and there is a fee for processing it, no cash is sent to you.
to give you an idea of the prices ..
the silver magnet is less than 50$ ( does not including shipping )
and the trickle tanks are less than 160$ ( does not including shipping )
the replacement cathode for the silver magnet is less than 20$ ( does not including shipping )
and the replacement bottom half of the trickle tank is less than 100$ ( does not including shipping )
you are interested or have any question regarding silver recovery
