Marshall, I am making progress.  Few more questions....with regard to 
stability, do you mean shelf life?  How does the stability manifest itself?  
And what do we have for an end product with deadly voltage.  Does that wreck 
the batch?

Thanks once again,
Barbara

  A quick comparison that some may disagree with: 
  LVDC                HVAC 
  less expensive more expensive 
  slower               faster 
  less stable        more stable 
  more variable  less variable 
  safe              deadly voltages 

  The variable has to do with consistance in ppm and particle size.  Both can 
make extremely good CS from distilled water.  These are generalities.  For 
instance, very stable CS can be made by the LVDC method, it is more difficult 
than with the HVAC method.

       LVDC is low voltage direct current.  Normally the voltage is between 9 
and 30 volts, and the voltage does not change polarity, or if it does, it does 
so at no faster than a couple of times a minute. 
      HVAC is high voltage alternating current. Nominally usually around 10,000 
volts, and 60 hertz frequecy.

        I haven't been on this long, but need to know the difference between 
LVDC and HVAC.  I think that is what I keep reading. I anyone responds, could 
you keep it simple.  I don't understand electricity not charging very well! 
Thanks

            I'm a newbie to this board with this problem:  with my brand new 
colloid master 777,  I tried to generate one quart of  approx 10 ppm CS but 
after 23 hours the process never completed so I shut the processor off.  I 
attempted this on the 9th and 10th of this month.  Is this huge amount of time 
normal to make CS?  Did anyone else experience this on those dates?  Thank you 
for any response.

          Hi Mary Lee, 
          I'm not familiar with that generator, but 
          that time is WAAAAY to long. 

          On my LV/DC I do 42ozs of distilled water 
          plus a spike of 2 oz from my last batch just 
          to get things started.  It is usually finished 
          in one and one half hours. 
          23 hours ?, something is not right. First 
          reread the instructions carefully, because 
          that time is WRONG! 

          Jack
