Yes Marshall, my explanations probably aren't the best but I go by the 'clarity' of colour if you like, if that colour (which is seldom I may add) is a 'clear' or 'distinct' colour and not cloudy or such then my assumption follows that which was stated earlier. May be wrong there but that's how I judge quality. But here's something to ponder...that 'tea' coloured solution I spoke of was brewed in a 2 litre crystal jug and I believe something happened between the lead in that crystal and the electrolysis process, am going to repeat one day and if result is the same then I know the lead in the crystal glassware is having some effect on end result. I may be right off the mark there but can't think of another reason why this should have occurred on that occasion.
