Sorry Yousouf, missed this.
In reply to your snipped quote below, here's an interesting observation of mine
of several years ago...
I filled a drinking glass with rainwater from our tank and tested it with a TDS
meter {yes, I know how inaccurate they are} and after brewing for 3 minutes
that reading went down. I did ask someone about why the reading went down
instead of up and was told it was to do with electrolysis and the organics etc
in the water and if left to brew long enough the reading would eventually go
back up.
This outcome displeased me somewhat as I had no idea of silver content so I
made another batch in a drinking glass, brewed for the same time i.e. 3
minutes, and had it laboratory tested for silver content. The test was not
exhaustive or definitive as this was when I first got involved with making EIS
but the result was 40+ppm total silver content.
Not being familiar with chemistry, I found the lowering of the meter reading
after brewing a somewhat fascinating observation.

By the way the faster you achieve a high concentration is not a good sign at
all for the reasons mentioned above. This means that your water has dissolved
minerals and your water conductivity is high. With good distilled water it
takes about 20-30 minutes to get good CS. The color will be slightly golden
with a bitter aftertaste.
