The PPM is basically a function of time and applied current. Heating the water increases intial conductivity in the water thus reducing the time it takes to pull a desired current at a given voltage amongst other effects such as creating thermal stirring to keep hydration up and particle size down. If the ion production rate far exceeds the hydration rate, larger particles start to form. One can manually lower the voltage to keep tabs on current draw and production rate in order to get a pretty high PPM small particle CS. One can manually stir to increase hydration rates. Shortening the time it takes to get things going can also be done by "seeding" [with CS] or salting, but salting may render a portion of the CS ineffective. Minerals in spring water may make the results unpredictable. > Low tech water distillers are easy to construct out of a sheet of plastic and a small rock. [desert survival trick] Almost Any DC power source will work to power a generator. 12v car battery, 6v bicycle generators [sit and pedal or make a windmill], solar panel battery chargers...maybe even coins and fruit juice batteries. It doesn't take much power.
