After listening to Becks tapes a couple of yrs ago, I made some CS from our well water which we consider pretty decent. The light stayed on the whole time and the silver things just boiled. I wouldn't use it and always wondered if I couldn't get distilled water, how I would make the stuff.??? Edith

In my original searches on the net for CS, I think it was perhaps Bob Becks papers that talked about making useful CS with no mention of distilled water being necessary. The question being, how UNsafe,really, is CS made with potable tap water? Personally, I wouldn't have any qualms using it, but what the heck, I'm a guy. Chuck >> You are correct Chuck. Originally Beck told everyone to just make it. I watched him make cs with plain bottled water, coffee and I think once with orange juice. He is the one that taught how to make cs by adding salt. What does all this have to with Karen's question? A lot. As an example, after I learned from Beck, I built a simple cs maker for myself and another one for my mother. I taught her how to make cs, like I made it then, with salt added. I didn't know about making it without salt as I do now. Anyhow, I later told her she should stop using salt and to use distilled water. Well, mom is 74 years old and does not like to change anything that works. So still today she makes cs for herself, my brother and sister using filtered water and a drop of salt water. They have been using it for years that way and no one has had any problems and it seem to work just as good as the cs I make. Sometimes I wonder if we haven't made making cs overly complicated in our attempt to improve on something that I don't think we really know much about in the first place. Karen, to answer to your question, like Chuck I would not have a single worry about using cs made with plain water. But, I would let it set for at least half an hour and then shake it and let it stand again, after I made it so the cs could have a chance to kill off the critters in that water.
