Tap water... Hi All, Just to share this FWIW. Just for jollies, I filled a glass with Seattle City (tap) water. Wow, what an education. The water had an initial TDS reading of 34 right out of the tap. Further I has a *very* slight Tyndal Effect (you have to be in dim light to see it). I dropped the probe assembly into the glass and fired up the generator. Starting current was 8.00 mA with a corresponding voltage of 14.5. This seems pretty close to the upper limit of the current limiter, such as it is. I let this run for 22 minutes (had to break it off to go somewhere) at which point I had a 8.37 mA draw at 13.1V (28V supply) and a cloudy milky whitish grey tint to the solution. You can see through it easily enough and it does seem to be clearing (about 2 hours later now) but still noticibly milky. The Tyndal effect is striking and quite broad compared to what I get using DW. Final TDS reading was 38. I don't know if I even want to consider cooking with tap water anymore... Just found it interesting and thought I'd share this.
