This is it Joy, one can only use what water's available.
When I'm using my old battery unit I remove the electrodes from the water (300ml glass) after 30 minutes,clean them with a paper towel,swap polarity over (maintain even wear on both electrodes) then resubmerge them for another 30 minutes and jobs done. I suggest not to use a scouring pad to clean electrodes as they are needlessly abrasive, use paper towel, tissue, clean rag/hanky or toilet paper if you have to (but you'd better fold *that* over a few times to give it some strength <g>). If you're using 4 batteries then things will work a little quicker, you may need to do the electrode cleaning thing each 15 minutes. One (1) hour should give you plenty of ppm for your purpose. Mine's normally clear, but then I'm not phased by colour anyway. Contaminants are your worst nightmare...what I do: keep everything clean, I don't wash containers out just wipe them out with paper towel, I keep containers solely as production vessels and for storage of EIS.
