"Hi DG. I don't know if I am one of the people you were addressing with your
post, but I started the thread asking for information on specific models of CS
Pro generators. I was asking specifically about the MHVAC ("UNI-PHASE 16, 48, &
MAX-128") systems made by them. All of the responses I got at the time were
negative. I got only one on the list; it came from Solar and can be found at
http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m40057.html I found Solar's comments to
be quite clear and unambiguous. As I said in my earlier post, I also got two
replies off list, both of which were even more negative and critical. I do not
have permission from the authors of the private emails to me to post them to
the list or to forward them to anyone. However both of the people are on the
list and if they wish to contact you with their information I'm sure they will.
If you believe that this information is inaccurate the best way to counteract
it is with more accurate information based on your own experience. Have you had
any experience with any of these, MHVAC ("UNI-PHASE 16, 48, & MAX-128")
systems?? I was not then nor am I now specifically looking for negative input
on this company or any of their products, nor do I believe that any of the
people who responded to me had any ulterior motives or "hidden agendas". If you
have had any personal experience with any of the CS Pro MHVA("UNI-PHASE 16, 48,
or MAX-128") systems, I would like as much to hear it now as I would have when
I first posted my request for information on people's experiences with any of
these products. BTW James-Osbourne: Holmes had very favorable comments about CS
Pro's Ultra Pro model."
I was one of those with off-list negative comments. Reading the specs at the CS
Pro site, it struck me the voltages were precisely mains AC - so I assumed they
were doing nothing more than feeding mains AC to the silver wires in their
unit. Solar corrected me on that - there are diodes included that results in a
hybrid arrangement where some electrodes are pure AC, the balance being
half-wave rectified positive and negative respectively. That method will work
after a fashion, but I don't think is ideal. The main problem is the high
voltages are potentially hazardous, are much above the recommended optimum for
fine particle size, and as illustrated at their site, runs the risk of
catastrophic meltdown if the unit is left too long unattended - there being NO
provision for overload protection (not even a fuse)! I once recommended their
tip of using baking soda as a starter. Not any more. Have since posted to the
effect that, from both Roger Altman's calcs on solubility product, and Frank
Key's page on zeta potentials, CS, whether in colloid or ionic form, is best
kept in an acid environment. Baking soda is alkaline, and will adversely affect
the PPM silver obtainable. I now always add citric acid (plus a small quantity
of potassium citrate, as buffer) before brewing with LVDC. Works well for me.
