Nine volt batteries can make something you can use if you're careful. It will run away VERY fast and unpredictably or just sit there and do little for quite a while due to small differences in the water conductivity. Without any way to moniter or control the current, the difference in batches using 1 ppm water and 6 ppm water , run the same amount of time will be enormous. If running for 5 minutes in 1 ppm water gets you 5 PPM, running for 5 minutes in 6 PPM water will get you something like 625 PPM sludge.
Constant voltage devices [like batteries] run in a exponential manner and there's no way in h.e.double hockysticks to time a batch accurately [ppm per minute per minute like an accelerating falling object in voltage constant gravity] while controlling current makes the process linear. [ppm per minute] It's like the difference between falling out of an airplane and flying one. Done right, you could go as high as 50 PPM [maybe more] and not even have a yellow product, much less brown. [20-25 PPM is more a reasonable goal] Ken At 02:40 PM 9/18/02 -0700, you wrote: >I just started making some new Distilled water, and am >finding that I am still getting the 2-6 ppm whatever >it is WITHOUT using charcol.
