Dorothy, Mine doesn't take nearly as long as this. Even battery operated. I also use a TDS meter I guess; came from Utopia Silver. I have a battery operated from them and also an electric one which is faster, but the Utopia one takes about 2 hours. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorothy Fitzpatrick" <[email protected]>

Hi Leslie, this is one of the problems I have had i.e. the machine hasn't turned off for over six hours even though the ambient temperature has actually risen here. The ppm has only been six at this point so to reach 10ppm I've had to run it for another two hours. This is for only half a litre, so I'm wondering if this is what is causing the yellowing. I use a simple TDS meter which is not accurate but is near enough. The red laser pointer is to test the finished CS for 'tyndall effect' which shows that you actually have silver in your solution. If you have, it makes a clear red line through the CS water. dee

Mine is pretty clear and sometimes yellow.Hardly ever dark unless I let it run too long. I was told to try and reach 10 ppm. Am I using the best tester? I had wondered what the red laser pointer was for and wrote a man who handled them but never heard back with any info. What does it do? I want to make the best I can with what I am able to afford.

Thank you.
Leslie
