The minerals could change the charge in the water too soon, and depending on 
what's in the water, you simply won't have pure CS, which is what probably made 
those highly publicized folks turn blue/gray. You really need to use distilled 
water. I once forgot that my urn for distilled drinking water already had prill 
beads (google them) in it and that, alone, changed the water enough that my 
generator shut off as if it sensed it was already saturated with silver. L
