Does anyone here heat the distilled water to almost boiling first? I was
told to do that by the guy who first told me about CS and he's been making it
about 8 years I think. It sure does make it finish faster.
*******Pat -- the first person who told me how to make CS (with a homemade
battery unit) told me to warm (not boil) the water first. Doing so speeds up
the brewing process. Since I bought my Colloid Master several years ago, I
simply use room-temperature distilled water. My Colloid Master unit is set on
standard, at around number 5. It can take anywhere from three to five hours to
make a quart of CS. It is always crystal clear with a very light metallic
taste. My Hanna tester shows a ppm level of anywhere from 8 to 12. I'm
wondering
if there is something wrong with your testing device -- as your description
sounds like very much stronger CS. MA
