My understanding is that the ONLY reason for the suggestion to boil the water was so that the water would be extremely hot when the CS was being made, which decreases the surface tension of the water (it does, this is why hot water cleans better than cold), which SUPPOSEDLY enable you to make a higher concentration of CS in the same amount of tim. It has been likened to increasing the electrical conductivity by adding a pinch of saline solution or mineral water to the distilled.
I am not claiming this as being true, just trying to clear the air...I have seen a few people appear to get very excited and adamant about NOT boiling the water, as if there were something sinister or dangerous about it. -- Charles Marcus
