This is how I do it: I put distilled water into a pyrex glass measuring cup, then place that into a shallow pan of water for a double-boiler effect. This way the plain water in the pot heats up the distilled water but the distilled water doesn't have to touch metal. Just before the distilled water is boiled (you'll see little bubbles in it), remove it from the stove and place the silver electrodes into it and turn on your CS maker. MAKE SURE THE SILVER ELECTRODES ARE FAR ENOUGH APART AND COMPLETELY PARALLEL. "Far enough apart" means around an inch, and "parallel" means bend the wires if you have to. If these two things are not done, you'll get large silver particles on them that look like feathers. One person on the list said he made good CS with tap water, but I wouldn't trust tap water, certainly not my tap water. Distilled is best. Don't use salt in your formula. Some people do this to accelerate the silver-making time, but a friend of mine tested silver made with salt and found that the germicidal properties were substantially decreased. Then he substituted baking soda, which was better; but I find that heating the plain distilled water prepares it to "accept" the silver. Depending on the CS maker and how strong you like your silver, leave the electrodes in for 1/2 hour to one hour. Good luck. And DO it -- I use the stuff as though it's water!
