Marshall: So sorry to hear about your mom. It's hard enough to lose a mother, but when you feel that something more could have been done... I can't imagine how difficult that is.
There seems to be a variety of opinions on this taste issue (what a surprise! ;)) I don't see how I could have this problem, though, as I have used ozonated sodium-free DW (brand: Crystal Springs), and wipe the electrodes very often to avoid residue on the bottom. I use room temperature water, have 27 volts and end up with clear to *just barely* yellow color depending on the time. The taste varies depending on what I have eaten or drunk (or not) before I take it. I really think it is my extreme over sensitivity to bitterness (I couldn't drink tonic water with a gun held to my head) On the other hand, I don't want to take chances...
