Ian - in what sense do you mean "the prills work great"? Are you referring only to the pH change? If that's all, they are probably quite an expensive way to make alkaline water, compared to chucking a little lime in. The main claim to fame is 'restructuring': "When you make Prill water, the Prill beads transform water at the molecular level and make what Jim Carter calls Thin Water. The water forms single molecules of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms that are very tightly and permanently bound together. In some magical way, the chlorine and fluoride in the water are dissipated and the water is pure and pristine as glacial water and will super hydrate your body even better than clustered water. This is a huge part of the magic of Prill Water." http://seasilver.threadnet.com/Preventorium/twilight-prill.htm.
Since the beads 'last a lifetime', magically removing chlorine and fluoride cannot be an ion-exchange process, so conventional chemistry and physics are apparently old hat. As far as using prill water to make CS, the same page states: "PRILL WATER AND COLLOIDAL SILVER From David Dartez Regarding the water for your pets...colloidal silver will certainly take care of any pathogens in the water, but that is not the only issue. There are non-pathogenic toxins that can still be a problem. I think that you would do better considering using the Prill beads from Twilight to make water for you and your pets. The beads dispel the chlorine and fluoride in tap water and also seem to dissipate many of the other toxins that are in the water. Then you could add about a teaspoon of colloidal silver per quart to the Prill water." Would be interested to know if you find the familiar white silver chloride precipitate from using chlorinated tap water to make CS is overcome by prior treatment with prill beads. regards, Kevin Nolan ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Roe To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 10:29 AM Subject: Re: CS>Prill Thin Water I know they say that the prills add nothing to the water but that is not true. I started with R.O. water at 6 ppm TDS and wound up with water at 83ppm TDS or about 1/2 the TDS of our municipal water which is at 170 to 190 ppm. The nice thing was that the pH had been about 7.1 and after prilling, is at least 8 or higher (wouldn't test higher than 8) But it sure is cheap alkaline water. I was about to spend $1000 or more on one of those Japanese micro machines and now I don't have to. The prills work great. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 9:37 AM Subject: Re: CS>Prill Thin Water In a message dated 5/2/2002 5:31:26 AM Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Ian Roe wrote: > Hi: > > Has anyone tried to make CS out of Prill Thin Water? > > Ian Dear Ian, I haven't used the Prill water to make CS with but I have been drinking it for 5 months and love it. It tastes so good and goes down easy. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't make good CS. According to the inventor, Jim Carter, the Prill beads don't add anything at all to the water, they just restructure it. He has said that Prill water will corrode metals over time but that might be a neutral factor or an asset in making CS with it. I will ask around to those "in the know" about Prill water and see what I can find out. Regards, Neil
