<< Roger,

 I understand your position  Mine is that most people aren't up for making
 large amounts, then taking a portion and sending it off for analysis.  I
 suspect most folks make a pint or so at a time and when they need more,
 they make it.  Most people probably don't have storage space for large
 quantities.

Trem: Six gallons?

Yes Roger. Six gallons is a heck of a lot. Most people have kitchen cabinets, perhaps a pantry, a hall closet and probably a closet in their bedroom. And the fact remains that most people wouldn't use gallons of it at a time. I think most take a prophylactic amount each day or else take it only when they feel under the weather. I'll bet a poll taken would show that most folks have less than a quart stashed away.

 I suppose you make large quantities because you sell it.  Correct


Trem: Yes I do, but I don't think you have to sell CS to consider mixing
several batches together, getting a single sample, and sending it in for
silver analysis.

Once again, I don't think most people are up for waiting on lab reports and diddling with samples when they can check it in a minute with a pocket meter such as the PWT. And yes, we do sell term but that's not what this discussion is about. It's about a way the average person can figure out what they've got in a reasonable period of time with little inconvenience. And at little cost. The PWT will pay for itself in only a couple of tests compared to continually paying for lab tests if they go your way.

 What the PWT does is relieve them of that task and allows them to test EACH
 and EVERY batch at their leisure.  The PWT is really the best choice for
 the average CS user/maker.  It's quick and works.  Like having a small,
 relatively accurate lab in their pocket or a drawer.


Trem: Sounds fine to me.


 And mixing unknown batches together doesn't tell a person what they
 made.  It's now homogenized; an average of all batches.  Not good in my
 mind for most people since they probably don't have too much uniformity of
 procedure.  You have to understand that all people aren't scientific.  And
 that's not a slam, just an observation.

Trem: On the contrary, I'm very glad you brought up this point because it's
the very point I've been trying to make myself recently. LVDC CS may be easy
for SOME to make, but for many it may be difficult to make consistent
batches. Realizing that the HVAC process is not for everybody, if it has one
thing going for it, it's consistency.

It's not only consistent but also relatively dangerous because of the high voltage and also expensive to buy a generating unit Roger. LVDC can be made quite consistently. For instance, our generator has automatic shutoff and a stirring motor. It makes very repeatable clear CS at up to 20PPM. What it takes is consistency which can be done if one works at it or they can buy a machine to do it for them. At least LVDC is safe and I think the product is completely satisfactory.

 And of course many people make CS that does not have much shelf life but
 they still want to know the PPM at the time.

Trem: Well, when it comes to shelf life, IMHO, HVAC CS is the standard by
which all other CS products are compared.

I can't argue that point. All I can say is we have clear CS stored in plastic soft drink containers which has been around for a long time with no fallout or color change. Guess we're lucky or else have a good machine.

I think this will be the end of the debate for me on whether sending CS off to a lab is better than testing it ones self. We're both sort of opinionated so there doesn't seem to be any reason to continue.

Have a good weekend.
