Re: CSWater Distilling Questions...
First, thanks to those who have replied to my questions that initiated this thread-- particularly for enlightening me to the difference in a TDS and PWT... makes sense (now). [The cooking analogy works for me-- cooking I know, thanks Mike... g] Sounds as though I should probably get a PWT one of these days, though my CS unit (one of Ode's) has an automatic cut-off, so I'm not as concerned about the ppm in the CS as I am about the purity of the DW I start with. I just want to get to the point where I know how to do the things I need to know and do. Which leads me to a couple more clarifications, if someone can tell me... The TDS I have only has a range of 0-999, not 2000-- would that have any bearing? (Does it make any difference in its sensitivity, or in using it, or only that it is limited to measurements below 999ppm?) Also, how is the measurement represented? I noted in the discussion, some have used decimals, as in .06, etc., and Mike mentioned that DW for CS should be between 0 and 1 but the TDS meter I have has only whole numbers, and does not have a decimal point (at least not that I can see, even in good light with my glasses...), so I have no betweens, so to speak (perhaps I should take what Mike said to mean *either* zero or one?). I was taking the reading to be whole units, or ppm, is that right? (Sorry... I'm really not good with the techie end of this...) I redistilled the second batch of DW, which read 011 on the TDS by that time (up from 006-- no idea why, was it still in the collection jar, so was not from handling). It registers a 009 now, with not much, if any, additional residue in the boiler, though logically it would probably be too small an amount to tell. George suggested removing the charcoal filter, so I've done that, and am running a new batch with fresh water to see if that brings the reading down. Will post the results when it finishes the cycle. Thanks again... this really is *the* list for CS-- I have learned so much here from lurking and reading (believe it or not, in light of my current dilemma g) . I heard about this list on another CS list several years ago, and had also heard that the brain trust here could be a little cranky with those lacking like expertise, but I've never found that to be true... and I've put it to the test on several occasions. g I just wish I had more to contribute, besides my gratitude. CS came up recently on another, totally unrelated, list and someone offering 'expert advice' gave directions for holding silver wire between one's fingertips in tap water for a few seconds to make CS... I kid you not. Reading that really made me appreciate ya'll all the more... =Leigh -- What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us...

CSWater Distilling Questions...
I just got my first water distiller-- one of the small Love distillers discussed recently. It seems to operate as intended, but I'm still a novice at this end of the process, so was hoping some who had more experience might be so kind as to advise. .. 1. I bought a Hannah TSD 1 with the distiller, because that's what they sold, and I wanted a way to gauge the quality of the DW I made with the unit. In making CS, if I have a reading on the DW before, is the difference in the reading after making the CS equivalent to the PPM in the CS? 2. I've noted that some use a PWT for this purpose... is one better or worse than the other? What is the difference? 3. The initial two gallons of DW I've made (each with fresh batches of water-- one filtered, one regular tap water) have not produced a 0ppm DW, though the reading is better on the second (16 vs 06)-- which I suppose could be due to perhaps 'flushing out' the unit. Is this usual? 4. The sediment after running filtered water was soft and sludgy-- I could wipe it out with a paper towel, but after I ran the plain tap water, the sediment, though it appears the same in color, etc., is solid, and is hard, like scale, and cannot be wiped from the bottom of the tank... anyone know a reason for this? 5. What is an acceptable reading for the finished DW? Is 0ppm expecting too much? If so, what would be acceptable for CS production? 6. Would it perhaps improve the quality if I ran the DW through the distiller again to reduce the impurities? 7. (Last one... really.. g) After testing the water before and after distilling, and seeing what's left behind in the distiller, I'm wondering if it would be preferable to distill our drinking water? I was a kind of grossed out at the gunk in the bottom of the distiller after making the DW. I've always thought that the minerals in water were beneficial, but in looking into buying a distiller, I've seen DW touted as the best and only pure water, and as preferable for drinking. Any opinions on this? Thanks for any and all assistance with my most recent learning curve. ==Leigh -- What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us...

Re: CSwater purifier?
I bought an Aqua Rain 200 purifier a couple of years ago, and I'm very happy with it... It is, as best I can tell, essentially the same design as the better known British Berkefeld SS-4, aka Big Berky (which is what I originally set out to purchase). The Berkefeld/Doulton lines have much more in the way of design options, some of them very visually appealing, but also more expensive. However, if you're interested in this type of water purifier, you might want to look at their products before you decide. In any event, mine is a stainless steel unit, with silver impregnated ceramic candle filters. (Learning about Reid's work on the CS lists got me motivated to look for that kind of a system-- thanks Reid.) I have the smaller two candle size, and it produces more than enough drinking/cooking water for the two of us, plus the critters (my teenage son and I, two dogs and three cats), but there is a larger four candle size available that has a higher output. (Both the Big Berky and Aqua Rain 400 are four candle units.) Mine is more than adequate for our daily needs, but I think if I were to buy another, I'd go ahead and spring for one of the four filter units, just to have the option of the extra capacity, but ymmv.). I like the one I have though, because it's not reliant on any outside energy source or water supply-- in a pinch, supposedly you can use water from almost any source (lake, pool, well, or whatever), though fortunately I've not had to put it to the test in an emergency yet. (I do, however, live in a very small town with a really shaky-- and apparently *really* rusty-- water processing plant, and it does wonders with our notoriously iffy tap water.) I also like that it's relatively low maintenance, and doesn't require frequent filter replacement-- just clean the tanks and scrub off the filters once in a while. I do have to pay attention to keeping up with it as far as keeping it filled, as it operates at a slow drip-- no instant gratification with this type of unit, so ya gotta plan a little bit ahead (but for me that's a whole lot easier than hauling around five gallon jugs-- not to mention far less expensive). At the end of each day I drain whatever is left into a container, and refill the upper tank, so I have a full fresh tank in the morning. If I use a lot during the day-- for cooking or whatever-- I add back what I take out, and there's always plenty for our needs (even when we've had houseguests). It sits on the corner of my sink, so it's easy to do-- it's just become part of my routine. I paid a little under a hundred (USD) for mine, on sale, from an outfitter, and and additional forty or fifty for an extra set of filters, but now I'm set for years. Compared to the cost of any sort of bottled water, I figure it paid for itself long ago-- and I'm nowhere near needing the second set of filters yet. If you're interested, you can easily find all the units mentioned via an internet search, or eBay usually has a number of listings. Whatever you decide best fits your needs, I hope you find what you're looking for soon. Good luck.

CSTeaching children to take pills...
On 13 Apr 2003 at 22:49, Sharon wrote: Oh, and I have a question for you. How did you manage to teach your DD to swallow pills? Mine still can't. We'd been opening up the pill and giving it to her in some cod liver oil, which I am sure reduced the effectiveness of it, but it was the only way she could actually gag down the powder. Poor thing. Sharon Here's something that worked for my sons, though it's been many years ago now... Applesauce... just sink the pill (intact) in some on a spoon, and have the child swallow it as though the pill wasn't even there. Let the child practice until they are comfortable with the method using small candies in place of the pills (I think you said you had to restrict you dd's sugar... but there must be something you could substitute for the candy...). I used little cinnamon 'red hots'- they're small, and if the child messes up and bites into them they know it, but the taste is okay- actually, it even goes well with the applesauce. This lets the child get comfortable with doing it without the fear of biting into something really nasty tasting. We made a game out of it, eventually adding two or three at a time, keeping 'score' of how many he could swallow without biting into them (within reason, of course... but it eventually made swallowing one lone pill no big deal). We always used applesauce, but other foods would probably work, too... anything that your child likes that just sort of slides on down without needing to be chewed ought to do the trick. If you'd rather avoid sugar, maybe even some very soft, mashed potatoes (or other vegetable), using a green pea for the 'pill', or something like that? It's not absolutely necessary, but my sons also liked having a drink in hand as a chaser- just in case- especially at first... and I figured anything that instilled confidence counted. (And many medications should be taken with several ounces of liquid, anyway... plus I think it may have helped them to make the transition to taking meds with just water later.) My older son though, after becoming a whiz-kid at knocking down 'red hots', on his first run with a real tablet, panicked, bit right into it, and tried to chew it. Only once though... that experience made him so sure he didn't want to do *that* again, that he was a true believer ever after.

CSYet another question...
I hate to be the really stupid person in the group. I'm really reasonably bright in areas where I have a clue... really... but this is just *not* one of those areas... I need help. So, if someone would be so kind... I'm putting together a generator using four 9V batteries. The original instructions I had called for three batteries, and included a sub- miniature 'grain of wheat' incandescent bulb... (24V 20mA, as I recall, but don't have it in front of me...), which proved to be an item not easily obtained (Radio Shack, local electronics supply, two large hardware stores, and several hobby shops...). However, each of those places had various 12V bulbs of that type all over the place. So, I thought, how different could they be? (Hey, I'm not exactly an electrician, here g) The electric supply said Very different. So, no bulb... Then, in my many wanderings researching cs, I found instructions for the same generator that called for *either* the bulb that eluded me, *or*, a sturdier 12V ??mA bulb of the same type. However, now I can't find where I originally read it (can't find the bookmark, and have run several searches to no avail). However, I think that model also called for three, not four, batteries- and the four batteries seem to make more sense to me now. However, that also lead me to wonder if the number of batteries make a difference, as it relates to the bulb... and the only four battery instructions I've found to date, don't have the bulb. (Maybe there is a reason for that?) So, could someone who knows about such things please tell me a) if this is something that is even viable, and worth doing, and if so, b) *exactly* what I would need to get in the way of a bulb that would work in a simple four battery generator without me blowing something up? (The bulb is wired into one of the wires between the clip and the power source and is used to indicate when the generator is working properly, as I understand it...)

Re: CSSources of silver wire
Thought I had already posted this here, so didn't respond initially to the original post, but it now occurs to me that it was on another list... oops... I bought 1.06 oz. (about five feet) of 14 gauge .999 silver wire a couple of weeks ago from www.monsterslayer.com for $8.55, with Priority shipping and return receipt ($4.90), thus the total came to $13.45, delivered. They have a $5.00 minimum purchase, exclusive of shipping. As do many bulk dealers, their sell price is tied directly to the spot price for silver at the time of purchase, so price may vary a bit (stated to be within a fairly stable $.25 per ounce range, at the time I got mine, but that is subject to change with the market, I presume... however, when I ordered, they even offered to call me back- long distance- with the final price, if I wanted). This was my first purchase from them, but I was very pleased with the information at their site, their prices (!), and later, the actual transaction. One of the veteran members on another cs list I follow said they'd used them for years, and he also recommended them. ==='leigh -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
