I recently purchased a CS-PRO system (the MHVAC unit with 3 electrodes) and wanted to experiment with other solution catalysts than the one provided with the kit (the unit advises to start with a 5ppm solution achieved with a distilled water/baking soda solution). Their website indicates that the baking soda does not react with the Ag in any way, however I am skeptical of this and wanted to try other means of achieving a decent starting water conductance. I have a 'Nature Kleen' water ozonator with a stone ball aerator which I put in my clean CS batch pot which came with the kit and filled with distilled water. after switching the Nature Kleen ozonator on, almost instantly the reading on my hanna ppm meter jumped from a strong '1' to '11' and within 5 minutes of the water ozonation process was reading a solid 15. I decided to start brewing CS at this point and very quickly (within 90 seconds) saw the visual signs of the cs reaction between the electrodes. I stopped the process @ 11 minutes into it as it was already getting a bit cloudly and i wanted to keep it clear. After swirling the batch vigorously, removing the lid and allowing the batch 30 minutes to settle I inserted the meter which now read 13. It's been 4 hours and it's still at 13.
Question 1 - is oxygen or ozone known to affect ppm/conductance like this? If not, where could my flaw have been? I'm wondering if the aerator stone might have deposited some conductive sediment or something, although the meter read '1' with the stone in the pot before activating the ozonator.... well anyway, any help with this mystery would be appreciated Question 2 - any thoughts on the baking soda @ 5ppm for starter solution? the cspro site swears up and down that baking soda is not table salt so it doesn't create sodium compounds with the Ag, but I was hoping to get some balanced info on this subject. Question 3 - could I use a 5ppm cs solution made from my silverpuppy lvdc cs generator as a starting solution with good results? and now Question 4 - I'm interested in buying an HVAC silver system. Does anyone have any suggestions on a particular model that would be a good starter system for me? I'm looking for something sub-$300 so if there are any suggestions on a particular model that would help me a great deal. thanks! -cohry www.voxmonitor.com -- -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
