Hi there.  It would appear that we both have the same generator.  I however no 
longer make cs that has any sludge in it with the same generator.  At first I 
would follow the instructions that came with the book and I would make a 16 
ounce glass of cs in an hour.  I would have to interupt the production at least 
two times in order to take the black accumulation off of the silver rods.    I 
have always kept a log of the cs I have made and my first batch  was a tan 
color--not so good.  Also the tyndale effect was very strong.  Making cs this 
way proved to be a bit of a pain as you had to stay nice and handy to the 
product to wipe those increasingly blackened wires every 15 minutes or so and 
the product most always turned yellow.  You would have to stop about 30 into 
the process if you wished to have a clear product.  According to the book that 
came with our generator 30 min gave 3-5 ppm and 60 min gave 15-17 ppm. 
Then I read about thermal stirring.  I now use a pot pourri pot in my 
production of cs.  In the bottom pot I put my candle.  In the second pot I put 
boiling water.  Over the second pot I put a flat lid from a large mason jar.  I 
have also read that it is better to concentrate the heat to the centre or edge 
of the cs container so I took a rather thick piece of tin foil from a coffee 
can and cut a hole about the size of a quarter in the center and put the 
tinfoil over the lid with the hole in the centre.  I also double the tinfoil on 
the edges to keep the heat from the side of my cs container.  I know it is not 
too technical but I was using what I had at home.  I next put my container with 
distilled water on the lid that was on the top pot of my pot pourri container.  
Doing things this way I have found that I am able to leave the container on for 
a full hour without so much as stopping to wipe a single wire.  Even better 
than that there is absolutely no sludge or anything to be found in the cs.  And 
when all is done the finished product is nice and clear with a faint tyndale 
effect.  I do not know what ppm  (15-17 is what our little manual says) I am 
making as I do not have a hanna pwt to test it with but if the clarity and 
light tyndale effect mean anything I would say it is pretty good stuff.  I can 
even leave it running for another 30 minutes and the product is still clear.  I 
have had good reports from people that have used it---I have given it to many 
friends and family members. 
For all you techies out there I know this sounds rather strange but hey it 
works.  To me that is all that matters.  I simply do not have the money to 
afford anything too fancy. 
If you do not have a potpourri pot in your home a heater is easily made by 
cutting a 1 inch hole in a can and placing it upside down on a night light.  
The bulb is usually 5 or 7 watts and is sufficient to keep your water in 
container moving.  This is called thermal stirring and I think I gleaned this 
piece of info from Trem's site---not sure though. 
Hope this is of some help to you.  By the way the thermal stirring controls the 
current or so I am told and that is why you do not get the sludge. 
                                    Good health and good luck to you 
 
                                              Linda J. Hefferman

generator for maybe 2 weeks. it's from www.sunstoneherbals.com (you might be 
able to get a better picture than my description. it's the plastic casing type. 
fresh batteries, 2 week old .9999 silver electrodes. make about 8OZ of CS 
daily. i guess thats it.
