Thanks for your message, Bob. What is the anode you speak of? Are you thinking that I already have a cs generator? I don't have one yet since I want to be sure that my distiller would make acceptable DW. There was only one time when there was that white stuff in the bottom of the jar I use to collect the distilled water. I am currently emptying and wiping out the inside of the distiller each time I use it. It's a nuisance, but an acceptable one. Is there any other way to test the salt content of the water ? I don't understand the terminoloty "anode electrode" . Does "When I apply the voltage" mean when I turn on the distiller? I suspect that I will save up and buy a ready-made generator when I see my way clear. Thanks for all your help. Ruth

Ruth,Watch the anode electrode carefully when you apply the the voltage. If a small white cloud drifts downward, then there is salt in you DW, and your still is not working correctly.You mentionedThe taste of the last batch seemed different and the glass bottle had some white stuff in the bottom.The "white stuff" is probably silver chloride that came from salt being in your DW."Ole Bob".
