The reason most people say use the green thing is simply tradition that
won't go away...just like using salt.
That's right, there are still people out there that include some sea salt
with a generator.
Not everyone who sells em has a clue.
Worse than that, not many people who make em have a clue either. They
just pick up some old tome from 20 years ago and go to work.
..it's getting better.
A least you don't often see a photo of downright sludge being touted as the
best there is any more.
You do hear how to make it deep yellow gold on purpose though. After
all, they read in that old tome that that's what it's supposed to look like
so if it doesn't say exactly how to make gold they'll go out of their way
to discover how.
How many times have you read that you should use boiling water?
...or spring water [like spring water could be the least bit consistant]

Hi Ruth,
Thats O.K., I just read a post to me from Ode saying that scrubbing the
wires is a bad thing, by removing all the dark buildup you remove silver
that you could otherwise use and that a rough pitted electrode has more
surface area and lowers current density providing a surface for any
deposits to stick to better so they don't wind up in the water, So it
works better if it's not smooth. You might already know this but I figure
I'll pass it on anyway just in case, if cleaning is necessary you should
put the wires in hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes any longer and they
will turn black again, then rinse with DW.
However I am still curious as to what your instructions say, in the light
of this news it makes one wonder about ulterior motives.
Thank you for all your help.
Stay healthy,
Jean

Hiya Jean -
I will try to remember to bring my instructions into work with me
tomorrow. It makes sense though, that different units would have
different care instructions. As for cleaning the jars with only CS and a
bottle brush, that was my own idea. Since CS kills germs it made sense
to me that it should clean my jars as well as anything else. In
addition, I have had no problems whatsoever when brewing up any size
batches, they are all crystal clear - I prefer using the pint jars simply
for the time savings per batch.
I'll let you know tomorrow after I get into work.
Sincerely.... Ruth

My package actually included the scouring pad. I wonder if that will
break down the silver wires faster, and if so is that the intention so as
to sell more wire quicker. Maybe I'm being too skeptical, it just seems
that there is soooo many ways to brew, clean, store, make CS stronger or
weaker that it makes my head spin and unsure of the methods I'm using.
Please keep me posted as to what your instructions say about cleaning, if
you don't mind.
Thanx,
Jean

Hiya Jean -
Hmmmm.... maybe I need to re-read my instructions when I get home from
work tonight!! But if I recall correctly, I was only supposed to gently
wipe the rods between each use with a coffee filter or unbleached paper towel.
I don't scrub the rods with anything or try to make them "shine" as when
they were new. They are a "matte" silver color now and I've made about 4
gallons in 2 weeks if that matters) I get VERY LITTLE gray matter off
the rods each time I do wipe them. Also, there is slightly more gray on
one rod than the other each time. I was told to rotate the rods between
each batch as well so they would wear uniformally.
Hope this helps.... Ruth

Hi Ruth,
I usually pour all of the brewed batch into my storage vessel because I
brew so little at a time (8oz) as per the instructions that came with the
generator, the instructions also said that I should use a scouring pad
after each brewing cycle to clean off the dark buildup on the rods. Does
only using a coffee filter clean off all the dark buildup?

Hi Jean -
For what it's worth, I don't clean my jars when I am brewing up one batch
after another (there's no build up of any kind so I don't see the need
to). When I'm through for the night, I turn my jar upside down on a white
paper towel to dry. I only wash the jar when I see a very slight film on
it or maybe every couple days just to be sure. I leave an inch or so of
the CS in the jar and use a bottle brush I have dedicated to only cleaning
up my CS jars/utensils/etc. (I use CS as the cleaner since soap has gotten
a somewhat bad rap in here). After cleaning, I rinse the jar in distilled
water and drain the jar on a white paper towel. I clean the rods by
gently wiping them off with a coffee filter.
Hope this Helps..... Ruth

Thanx for the feedback I'll give both a try to see what works best for me,
however I don't have a drill so what should I be using or not using as a
cleaning agent.

I wrote on this once before.
Look around in the dollar stores for plastic handled toilet (ROUND) brushes
that at some point narrow down
to 1/2 cut here and now it will fit in a 1/2 chuck Drill Motor.
This set up with a little water makes it a lot easier to clean jars.
I use this set up to clean 1 gallon jars it works on quart jars also.

Hi Bob,
Why wouldn't you use a "Bottle Brush" instead,
it would probably be less expensive?
Cleaning the interior of containers is what they
were designed to do. You can find one at most
supermarkets.

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD
It's frustrating when you know all the answers,
but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
