Dear Marshelee et al., I noticed your reply above and found the information you gave to be particularly helpful. This is the first time that I've posted to this or any other list. I should mention that my needs concern a family of three persons, one 110 LB. family dog, and two box turtles that share an unfiltered water bath that may well benefit from a regularly added CS dose.
Should you or any other list member be so kind as to be willing take the time to answer, I would appreciate answers to some questions of my own. If you find it more convenient to do so, please just enter your comments into my text below: a.. Is there any significant advantage to using the .999 silver wire over US Eagle or Canadian Maple Leaf bullion silver coins? Do you know, offhand, what the gauge of the wire that you use is? b.. Assuming that the silver bullion is also a viable substitute for the simple generator that you've described, would there be any significant advantage between the two types of bullion coins just mentioned? c.. In your own experience, can you give a best guess of how many weeks or months the $5.00 supply of .999 silver wire you describe might typically last for the uses you've discussed. d.. Would the basic generator plans you mention (quite helpful, btw) be one that you would personally be satisfied with, or is there another home-made plan that you might also point us to? Would one that uses a small transformer, introduces air bubbles, or incorporates a timing relay or some other features that you may know of prove more satisfying or perhaps produce a superior quality CS more effectively? I should mention that my needs are for a family of three persons, one 110 LB family dog, and two box turtles whose unfiltered water bath may well benefit from an added dose. e.. Do you recommend any other testing devices for quality control, or are these really an unnecessary expense for my limited production when produced within the more customary given parameters? f.. I would appreciate your recommendation for the name of the supplier that you spoke of for the .999 silver wire. g.. Final question: Perhaps you or another list member might comment on whether I might consider my reverse-osmosis water system (new and well-maintained) as an equally viable alternative to using distilled water for making CS? I realize that I've asked many questions here. I'll be pleased with whatever information you might readily lend without burdening yourself. Your answer to the previous inquiry was already of significant help to me. Please accept my sincere thanks in advance for your time and helpful advice.
