It is likely agglomeration..post process agglomeration to coin a phrase. Here's what I think happens. Most LVDC proesses produce a high ionic content, some of which forms colloidal particles in time. This is evidenced by the drop in PPM [as read by meter] over night after a batch has been completed.
If the CS has been made faster than the ions can be hydrated and the concentration of ions have exceeded the saturation point in the solution, [13 PPM?] the ions will tend to form larger particles resulting in a batch going yellowish to violet when it was originally colorless. Keeping the storage temperature fairly high tends to be a preventative. Even if the ions have been properly hydrated, gross temperature fluctuations can cause this phenomenon. I have had rare instances of constant current and stirred batches go pale violet in a months time but only during the winter. I heat with wood only during the day and the house gets pretty cold at night sometimes. I also make pretty strong colorless CS..about 25 PPM. Try this Don't exceed 10 PPM as read by meter if you are using an uncontrolled generator. Use warmish water. [not more than 100 deg F] Store in a warm place. A marginal current control can be accomplished with a "nines" generator by removing a battery in time increments of total process time divided by the number of batteries you use, winding up the process with one battery. You can also shine a desk lamp on one side of your container or some very small heat source from the bottom such as a heater pad to induce a thermal stirring effect. Hint: You should never see an "ion cloud" form if the stirring effect is sufficient. Store in a warm place for at least a day. If the batch does turn color, adding a few drops of hydrogen peroxide will clear it up in a few hours. It doesn't take much. Do NOT use CS with H2O2 in it... or any H2O2... as a seeding or starter. You'll get a very pretty metalflake water. ken At 12:38 AM 9/6/01 -0400, you wrote: >Probably due to aggregation for some reason. Is she drinking it from the bottle >directly?
