I made my 2nd and 3rd batches of CS today. In retrospect, I'm glad I made the 1st batch with KCl because I was able to actually SEE what was going on. Just goes to show, there is something positive to be gained from every experience.
Anyway I made the 2nd batch from OSCO brand distilled water ($0.89) - the same thing I used in my first batch. The 3rd batch I made with high grade DI water from the lab where I work. People keep talking about the type of distilled water they used so I wanted to compare a very high grade to my "bargain" brand. I used no KCl this time, tested the mAmps every 10 minutes for a total of 60 min, and wiped off the wires at 30 and 45 minutes. According to the ppm calculator, I ended up with a total ppm of about 68, and 66. It was actually 85.31 and 82.91 but I factored in a 20% discount since I only have 4 inches of silver wire in the water. I think the calculator was based on 5 inches being in the water. I'd like to know how "off" Herx and Ole Bob found the calculator to be. I'll have to take some over to Ole Bob to test! Both turned out crystal clear and tasted the same - still a pretty strong taste but not bad like the first one. Beautiful! I'm going to put some in my humidifier for myself and my cat. I've been battling a wicked cold for 3 weeks now, and she's had a constant upper respiratory problem for years. Poor thing can't even purr sometimes. Thanks to everyone for the fantastic tips and testimonies, and expert advice. I've learned so much. Leacy Peace and Happy Holidays! ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!
