Hi Marshall, thanks for the information. If longer time means bigger particles maybe I should try running mine shorter and see if it is clearer and less cloudy. I'm a bit confused about the conversation about bigger and smaller particles and ppm's and color and time. Isn't what you are saying that above 5ppm you start to get some color? But color doesn't necessarily mean larger particle size, does it? I thought it was cloudiness that means particle size, although I'm not sure I know how to differentiate cloudiness and color since it seems to me that my solution is colored by a faint gold haze - so it's not clear and it is colored. And the one batch I made that went so weird -- it's hard to describe its color - it's a kind of mauve - a mixed gold and purple -- and some of it does seem to be precipitating out. I may just have run it for longer than I thought because I was out of the room when the timer rang. But, Marshall, I'm confused because you seem to have said two contradictory things - although I'm sure it's just that I didn't understand them. In one post you said that the purple meant yellow light being absorbed and that means relly big particles -- and in another you said that the blue has nothing to do with particle size. Maybe it's my bad description - it's not really blue - more mauve. I am very excited because I think it is working now at the higher, storebought ppm - but I really want to figure it out so I can make it myself. I'm pretty sure that what I have is not allergies - I've been fighting sinus infections on and off for a year and it's connected to candida and a parasite and though it may be kicked off by reactions to something in the air, this is the first time since I got the candida levels down that it has turned into a full scale yellow and green mucus and mostly from one nostril - which indicates infection to me. (sorry to be so graphic!) Anyhow, thanks so much for taking the time for all these questions. Take care, katarina
