Hi, Sol, Was making a quart. Last night I found these instructions from Trem's webiste and they aren't time specific, so have had to guess. Don't own a water meter. I did add a small amount of CS I'd made before, and let the batch run a long time, and finally the light did come on. We had a family emergency so just turned the unit off, but will plan to hook it up again and wait for the green light to go off. Thanks, Cindy
If using the SG6 Auto to make CS, you may use a standard mouth quart or half gallon container. You may also use any vessel that allows the electrodes to be clear of the bottom or sides. Water volume is not critical. However, with large vessels, it may take some time for the process to start. If that is the case, you may wish to add about 10% or more of a previous batch to your water to act as a "starter". This starter will allow the current to flow more quickly. After placing the generator on your vessel, just set the control dial to any position from LOW to HIGH to make from about 5 to 15-20 PPM. That's all there is to it. The green light serves triple purpose. If the green light comes on at startup the water is too conductive to be used. It should not come on if the water is acceptable for use. The water is not well distilled. It is too conductive to be used. If the green light comes on and immediately goes off that indicates the water is highly mineralized and the generator has shut down. After some period of time the green light comes on and you know the unit is up to speed and is generating CS. That time can vary depending on water volume, water temperature, water conductivity and wetted electrode depth. The longer the green light takes to come on, the lower the initial conductivity was and therefore the higher the quality of the distilled water. The green light will stay lit until the process is complete. When the green light goes out, the motor will also stop running and the process is done. Shut the unit off and the CS is ready to use. Filter it if you desire. We do not recommend filtering. -------------- Original message -------------- > In normal operation, if the green light was coming on after only 2-5 > minutes, the water was NOT very good quality.
