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

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.
