I've been using a Colloid Master for several years, and I'm delighted with it. However, there is one thing you have to add before it will make optimal quality CS: some sort of stirring mechanism. I use an aquarium bubbler, but some regard that as an inferior stirring method, as it can introduce impurities. I use the bubbler because it's so simple, and I'm too lazy to add a more complicated stirring mechanism. I did, however, open up the bubbler, and I found a piece of foam filter on its air intake. Also, our house is made of non-toxic, non-outgassing materials, so I'm not particularly worried that the air I breathe on a daily basis is being bubbled through my CS. To make the bubbling action a bit gentler, I poked a pin into the air hose, making a tiny hole that bleeds off some of the air. You can see a couple pics of my set-up here: http://butthead.natel.net/cs/ The white lid is from the half-gallon Rubbermaid container that I used before switching to the one-gallon suntea jar, and I simply made a couple knife slits two inches apart and jammed the silver electrodes in. There is just enough electrode sticking up through the lid to which to attach the aligator clips. As was mentioned in another email, this unit is pretty slow. Personally, I don't have a problem with that because we only need a gallon per week, and I always start a new batch immediately after decanting off a new batch. And, by decanting, I mean that I use the spigot in the suntea jar to draw off the middle 3/4 gallon or so after I've let the CS settle for a day or two. My CS is clear in color and completely stable in sunlight. -- John A. Stanley [email protected] -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
