I was just thinking about all the questions regarding water quality. I know from this list that it takes high voltage to make colloidal gold. Therefore if I bought some 24k gold casting grain http://www.ccsilver.com/gold/gsol.html#gcastg formed it into 2 "1 cm square" pieces placed it into a glass or plastic tuning fork shaped probe 1 cm apart parallel glued with a substance that will not contaminate the water so that only the 2 1cm square faces were exposed. Then I should be able to hook this into my meter and use the resistance scale to determine the quality of the water. Is this correct? Any ideas about how to do this or what materials should be used? Was just thinking if this could be done at a reasonable cost that it would be an easy test since most of us already have a multimeter that reads resistance and would be as accurate as whatever meter you have already. I think this should be able to be done for a reasonable cost compared to buying a Hanna meter. Would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this. Sincerely Joseph B Fritz
