Hi Marie,

You're wrong on both points.  Deionized water will make better CS than 
distilled for the very reason that it usually has lower conductivity from 
having less minerals.  And warm water produces larger particles, not smaller 
ones.

  It's In The Water
  When you do this yourself, it is very important to control the purity of the 
water, because the purity of the water is one of the factors that controls how 
small the particles of silver will be. Only high quality DISTILLED water should 
be used. You cannot use purified or filtered water because it still has too 
many dissolved minerals in it. You cannot use deionized water because it 
doesn't conduct electricity well enough to start the reaction. Distilled water 
is just perfect to start the reaction slowly and let it proceed properly. 

  Another variable that influences particle size is the water temperature. The 
warmer the water, the faster the reaction will take place, and the smaller the 
particles will be.
