I never did filter my EIS, having done a simple version of Mike's test.
I simply ran some of my DW through a coffee filter and measured the
conductance before and after. Whatever got added (and lots got added to
the conductance) I decided I didn't want it in my EIS. Bad enough to
have it in my coffee.
The issue of filtering EIS(CS) has been discussed here many times
before. Some folks insist on it, but many of us (most of us?) do not
filter. My own idea is that any silver particles or flakes big enough to
be seen are just going to pass right on through the digestive system. If
they can be broken down into smaller particles or even ions in the
digestion, and pass into the blood or lymph, no harm done, if they pass
on out, no harm done, if they are too big to get into the bloodstream,
no harm done. But adding crap from the paper filters to EIS could cause
reduction in both silver content and effectiveness, as Mike says.

Paper can have all kinds of soluble ions that can combine with the
silver ions and make different compounds that have little or no
antibacterial or antiviral properties.
You can do a simple test. Measure the conductance of your fresh
distilled water.
Pour some dw in a 3 oz shot glass and drop in some paper folded up
to fit. Leave it for a few minutes, then measure the conductance of
the dw.
I measured 1.2uS for the fresh dw, and 70uS after dropping in a
folded coffee filter.
