Legally distilled water for drinking must be ozone treated to kill any possible pathogens. I suspect any labeled not for consumption has not had this treatment. Marshall On 6/9/2013 4:25 AM, Jane MacRoss wrote: Distilled water in the laundry aisle is 'not for drinking' ... I agree distilled

Any thoughts on building an ozone generator for water treatment? I'm not really interested in shelling out a few hundred dollars for a ready made one, and I do know about building Tesla coils and the like. On Mon, 10 Jun 2013, Marshall wrote: Legally distilled water for drinking must be

Go to a fish store and buy an air pump, an ozonator, and a flowstone. Then simply connect them together, and bubble the ozone through the water. Marshall On 6/10/2013 10:30 AM, Andreas Hahn wrote: Any thoughts on building an ozone generator for water treatment? I'm not really interested in

Hi Andreas, Try sipping some of the distilled water and see if that reacts? I find ginger or mint is also effective calming an upset tummy. :-) Hmmm. Usually cs is quite soothing to the stomach. The slight yellow is just indicative of larger particle size, not number of particles, and that

Hi, I would like to use store-bought distilled water for making CS. Testing with a conductance meter reveals very low conductance (0.5 microsiemens). Is there any other thing to check? I made about 200ml CS in a glass with it and it produced a brownish particulate residue that settled to the

Hi Andreas: A PWT reading of 0.5 uS is great... perfect for making CS. You can also check the pH (although I'm usually dissapointed with store bought water pH) if you're worried about the quality. The distilled water that I make at home is 0.3 uS, pH ~7.0. I think that most of the

Hi Jason, Thanks for the fast reply. Since the bottle of store bought stuff says not for drinking, are there any unhealthy contaminants that would still pass the conductivity test? The brewed CS is too conductive for my conductance tester, using an ohmmeter produces a resistance of around

Hi Andreas: What is the conductance tester you are using? I only have experience with a PWT (which is designed to test pure water). It really shouldn't be off the chart. Any PWT or TDS meter should be able to read close to 1000 PPM. FYI: Rinsing with distilled water won't remove any
