Hi Kevin: I have since found a web site that more fully explains the technology behind Prills. (75 pages of infoormation including the first chapter of Sheally's book) Prills are produced in a kiln at high temperatures. The magnesium oxide is part of the ceramic containg the technolody within and is incidental and non soluable. There is a solid state laminar technology within the Prills that change the structure of water so that it becomes thinner. It's qualities are different. the pH is higher, the surface tension is lower, it freezes at 34 F, not 32, it doesn't expand significantly when frozen (enough so that plants hydrated with it when frozen do not suffer cell damage when thawed. It also hydrates vegetables in the fridge very significantly - I have never seen anything like it before in my life and I've lived a long time. Carrots and celery so crunchy and tasty you could dream about them) The higher PPm readings that I got could have been for a number of reasons. I have since come out with much lower readings, not understanding that temperature afffects TDS readings. It is also possible that TDS is based upon conductivity in normal water and that conductivity may be different in this structured water. At any rate, I have no clue as to how this may affect CS production or quality and am not sure I want to change a process I am using that works perfectly well. I have the CSprosystem Ultra Pro and produce 2-3 batches per day on an ongoing basis. Conductivity changes would affect the outcome. The Ultra Pro system is based upon starting with water of known structure at room temperature with a conductivity of 1.2 microsiemens or less and following through to batch completion. If I change the conductivity and the angle between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms then the product may be different and of unknown particle size and weight.
Anyway, I am sold on Prills for other reasons as well. Dr. Higgens who has been researching water and energy for over 30 years has recently developed an RO system that takes water down to 1.5 ppm, strips it of its memory and reprograms it. [He is working on an additional stage where it is put through a block of coral calcium and with a device that can take the ORP down to minus 1400 if needed.] When a friend of mine contacted him about Prills wanting to know what they were, Dr.Higgens told him that Prills were in the last stage of water reprogramming in his water unit and that he knew Jim Carter. The water unit sells for $1000 USD. Prills cost a great deal less ($70 or less on special) and don't wear out. I already have high gauss magnets on my water intake pipes for several years now and they probably help to deprogram the water before it comes out my taps. I recently heard about a river in Norther Ontario that used to be extremely polluted and it caused illness. The pollution has been cleaned up but the water still causes illness. The only explanation is that the water has the memory of the previous substances it contained. Theoretically, you can RO all the water you want but the memory of the substances you remove is still in the water and although the water tastes better, it can sill have a detrimental effect when consumed. I could not have believed this until I saw pictures in a book taken by a Japanese researcher with an MRI at his disposal. He took pictures of frozen water with the MRI from all over the world and good water freezes differently than poor water. It forms excellent six sided crystals whereas poor water doesn't. He also showed that water is affected by how we speak to it, how it is labeled etc- something people have been saying for years but until now, I had never seen scientific proof of it. Homeopathic solutions I think are bottles of water with memory programed. Anyway I thought this would be interesting to you.

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':
