Purity of DW can vary from one manufacturer to another, even from batch to
batch from same manufacturer.
There are many factors which may be influential in differing end results. I
wouldn't get too concerned unless you are doing something wrong, i.e, cloudy
solution, gravity pulling too large particles out of suspension resulting in
mud laying in the bottom of the storage vessel over time, water temperature,
pollutants in the air whilst brewing to name a few. Too many to list. We
aren't making this stuff in a sterile or laboratory controlled environment, so
I wouldn't get too concerned.
Lasers: I don't believe the beam is useful immediately upon cessation of the
brewing process. It may only be faint, or not visible to naked eye at all
until that solution goes through its stabilisation time frame. It takes time
for Ag+ ions to form atomic ion clusters {particles} so you will have minimal
particles present immediately upon cessation of the brewing process. If you
are brewing to a shutoff point using a laser you may be brewing longer than is
necessary? Particles formed may be larger than desirable? The "just going
yellow" colour may intensify over time in storage?
Lasers only indicate particle content as light refracts off those particles,
hence time is needed for solution stabilisation before that beam intensifies,
or visible dependant on how many atomic ion clusters are formed. Particle size
is also a factor which may influence intensity of the beam, but if there is nil
settlement after days/weeks or months in storage then those particles a plenty
small enough to be bioavailable {opinion based on much research}.
The best way to observe the beam clarity is to aim it at your chin from the
opposite side of the container, you will also notice it is conical in
shape/form.

Subject: CS>few questions for the experts .....
few qs, if okay:
is all distilled water the same? ie, pure. I get fluctuating voltage when I
whack the 36v power on to begin with, using the same brand of water, sometimes
by as much as from 5v to 9v.
if it’s just going yellow, what’s the ppm, roughly?
if it’s at 30v after three hours one batch and 38v after 3 hours the next
under the same conditions, what’s the variable?
what does the 10 amp resistor do?
I’m beginning to use the laser pointer as a gauge as when to stop cooking –
ie. when I can see the beam, it’s done – is this a viable method?
sorry!
