No two jugs of water are the same. [except by accident]
Distillers have a maintenance cycle.
The best way to clean up a jar is rinse it in hot distilled water to leach out whatever may be imbedded in the glass..or buy a brand new jar. Cleaning the electrodes is likely to grind contaminants into the etch....the electrolysis process does a very good job as the surface of the electrode dissolves..taking everything on it along with it. Change electrode position periodically if you are running DC output. [Polarity switching does that every few minutes]

I am using Walmart distilled water. Was making clear CS but last two batches have been slight yellow. So, this could be water contamination or the jar has become contaminated?

What is the best way to clean a jar to make sure that it is not contaminated?

If it is the water, do you think Walmart has changed the quality of its distilled water?

Could it be the silver rods have contamination on them?


Yellow often means the water has something in it that kicks off oxide reactions. When using Food Lion house brand water from SC, I get nothing but yellow...but Food Loin house brand from NC, no problem. Water and environment is quite variable and who knows what may be a catalyst for what?
