Any mineralized water will have far in excess of 50PPM, so the very best Bill can produce is silver salts - sure they have some killing effect but very very minimal! The rain water I collected here in Florida was not suited either - 30-40 PPM of contaminates - the UK may have even worse rain water! Soft water is 100 PPM and tap water is generally in the 200-400 PPM range - we like to use water with less then
1PPM (get 80% silver ions) and ideally 1/10PPM.

The UK is known to have breweries - breweries use distilled water - visit one Bill, or find a Scotsman to take you to one! In the mean time, get more Cs help at: http://www.health2us.com/colloid.htm

Hello Bill,

Lavender is the color you usually get when using mineralized water, which apparently is what you're using. Other colors also show up with minerals in the water. It is best to use distilled water. If you can't get it, maybe you'll have to make your own. Without pure water, you won't make what is considered good CS. The best CS is clear, not yellow as I used to think. However yellow is still OK. I would toss any other color out or use it externally.

Rainwater would have less mineralization than water that has touched the earth. If you do catch it, do so out in the open, not water that has run off the roof. Roofs are notoriously dirty.

Hi Folks,
I'm new to the list.
I've been making CS  (Huh!) for the past six months, but have not yet
succeeded in obtaining the yellow color so many folks write about. It ranges
from transparent to pale lavender, but not yellow. The wire is .9999, the
generator(s) range from one PP3 to four x PP3 (different models). I time it
from 4 mins up to 30 mins depending on which generator I use.  Only thing I
have not got is distilled water.  Purified yes, Spring water, tap water,
injectible water, distilled no.  Is rainwater any good? We got plenty of
that. Where am I going wrong?
I'm in the UK.

Bill C.
