J> I have noticed some of you say you run a batch of cs for 2-4 hours! If I run J> my basic 3 - 9volt's for more than 2 hours it gets too dark, it will be a J> very dark amber color and tastes strong. Is this desireable? Does it mean J> that the particles are larger or that it is higher ppm?
J> Janine Janine, You don't say what volume container you're using or the distance between electrodes. I run 2 hours for 1.5 quart cell with 1/4 ounce ingot electrodes spaced 2" apart and get a consistent clear to very pale golden result if I stir once or twice during the process. When I had my electrodes 1" apart, I got a lot of brown wisps (treeing?) that formed rapidly and gave the mix a darker color, which is why I separated the electrodes further. I only get the dark stuff when I forget a batch and let it run all night. That's what I used to spray my feet, the dog's hot spots (cured, by the way!), the rabbit's skin fungus (also cured) and other uses (shower stall, fruit, mildew anywhere). It can also be diluted (if it's not black) down to an acceptable color and made potable. PS, I put about a pint of the dark yellow stuff in my 14,000 gallon swimming pool (I used bacquacil, not chlorine) when the walls were looking greenish, and the algae disappeared overnight without any other chemical treatment.
