The Quicksilver filters are constructed by sandwiching a layer a chopped steel wool between two tightly packed spools of wound steel wool forming the triple stage process. The first stage collects the majority of the silver in the bottom of the canister, while the second stage is designed to capture the balance of the silver. The third and final stage ensures compliance as well as acting as a final filter, trapping some emulsions and particulate matter. Cartridge channeling is greatly minimized with this type of process. This results with less iron entering the drain, while maximizing your silver yield.

The Silver Maker type cell units are primarily for low to medium volumes (X-Ray). All Silver cartridges should utilize a pumping station such as the ECO D3, ECO Mini, ECO 2 in order to maximize its effectiveness and efficiency.
