Not at all. Using salt or something other than distilled water you'll not be running long enough to have to clean the electrodes. > Is this product daily maintenance dose quality? Most of the experts will say no, because the salt method apparently makes much larger particles than the slower, distilled water only recipes. We've *still* not heard of anybody being hurt by this kind of CS, however. Try this: Start with plain distilled water and your usual setup, but leave out the salt. Start the process and just let it run... and run... and run... until you start to see a dark coating on the positive wire and a fluffy gray coating on the negative wire. This could take a half hour to an hour or more, depending on a lot of factors. When you get to that point, now is the time to: leaving the wires hooked to the power supply, pull them gently out, trying not to shake off too much of the "sludge" wipe them off with a napkin or lint-free cloth of some sort stir the CS either with the clean wires or a non-metal stirrer put the wires back in and keep brewing... Repeat this procedure every so often (Yes, very vague, I know...) after another good layer of fluff is formed. Toward the end of the process, you'll be getting a fairly rapid build up of fluff in only a few minutes. It's past the time to stop the run now, so note how long it took to get here and how often you'd been cleaning the electrodes so you can stop a bit sooner next time. It may take a good 2-3 hours to do, so don't rush it. In the future you can reserve a quarter of the last batch to use as "starter." It will shorten the initial startup period. Now, you'll probably have a clear to yellow to golden solution that might darken in color over the first day or so. Beyond that, you'll not know what you have at all without comparing details of your setup and procedure with others and/or having some of your product tested. Your CS will have a pronounced Tyndall effect, ie. a visible beam when shining a laser pointer or penlight flashlight through it, and a low to moderate concentration. Yes, there are *many* refinements to this simple process to give you smaller particles and more consistant results, but it is not bad CS. It will, however, give you a chance to see how the rest of us are making our CS using the non-salt process. Be well, Mike D.
