Using hot water to start actually speeds things up without being detrimental to the finish...the water cools off before temperature can play a role. Anything below about 120 deg F doesn't seem to have too much kinetic energy in it, making particles collide with each other and ions oxidize fast. Of course, at first, there are very few ions or particles TO collide...which is why it goes so slow at first...nothing much there to transport the electricity either.

just to say I have just received my new OdeV water distiller (plus correct lead <lol>) and have done one batch. It has taken six hours but I think if I put in hot water from the kettle this could cut this time down a bit. I am anxiously watching the electric meter here and it is blipping quite fast! I have to do another trial run to make sure there isn't any oil residue left and then I can start making my water for CS. Does anyone know if it would be detrimental to use hot water? thanks. dee -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
