Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone, but Beck-style devices use three drops of brine in the water to speed things up, correct? That's what you are using, Harry? A lot of folks are getting away from using salt to make smaller particles. You should be able to use your unit without salt, but you'd have to run it a lot longer, and clean the electrodes every so often during processing. *Then* you'd have to test the ppm. If you want to get the ppm that the manufacturer says you'll get, you have to use their recipe in its entirety. If you changed the voltage, electrode length or spacing, the amount of salt, time, temperature, volume, etc... --- you'll get a different result. If all you change is the length of time, you'll be able to estimate the resulting ppm. Using the salt, I think they say you'll get (approximately) one ppm per minute of processing. Push it for too long, though, and I'll bet that estimate breaks down. > 3. I am not familiar with the "PA Lindemann 6 x A4 page info." Can > you post a copy to me? The Lindeman article he's talking about is on the web at: http://www.elixa.com/silver/lindmn.htm I think the "PA ... 6 x A4 page info" gibberish is some sort of formatting codes that accidentally got into his posting. Lindemann explains his reasons for not using salt, and also suggests heating the water to speed production and *reduce* particle size. I've revamped my protocol along these lines recently and I am pleased with the results. Mike [Mike Devour, Citizen, Patriot, Libertarian] [[email protected] ] [Speaking only for himself... ]
