Dear Mike, Thank you for your response. We use a small pinch of salt when using grocery store distilled water and no salt with Mountain Valley Spring water. During a ten minute cooking session, how many times do you suggest we gently pull out the electrodes out of the CS? Is this product daily maintenance dose quality?

The first question we need answered is if you're using salt or baking soda to "kick-start" the reaction. I don't know what kind of recipe the silver solutions folks recommend. If yes, then you'll get a slightly milky colored stuff that's about as good as you'll get from that process. It likely has larger particles than the no-salt recipes, but continues to be effective for those who use it. The technique has fallen into general disfavor. If, however, you're using only distilled water, or perhaps a bit of a previous batch to speed things up, then the likely answer to your question is you've stirred it so vigorously that the gray "fluff" that usually forms on the negative electrode has gotten mixed in with the CS and clouds things up. The right procedure is to gently pull the electrodes out of the CS, trying not to shake loose the "fluff", then wiping them clean, stirring the mix, then putting them back in. Do this every once in a while. Strangely, the coffee filter idea is not as great as we used to think it is, in that you've got to make certain that your filters are not introducing a lot of dissolved contaminants. Folks have tested for dissolved solids after supposedly filtering, only to find that many ppm of soluble stuff came from the paper. So it's best to try to keep the stuff out of the CS in the first place. > Would upgrade but unsure if necessary and which direction to go. WE > NEED SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT! Amen to that! However, the simplest recipe is not that difficult once you get a little experience with it. It does not generate a precise product, but with a little care it will be effective. Others will have things to add. Don't worry that you're doing something major wrong. You're doing okay. Be well, Mike D.
