Ruth, We are miles apart in our thinking !!!! I thought you were making CS. When making CS there are two wires in a glass of distilled water. These wires are called electrodes. the wire that is connedted to the positive (+) terminal of the supply or battery is called the anode electrode. Look at a 9 volt battery near the top, on one of the small sides you will see a plus sign (+) this is the positive terminal of the battery. On the opposite side you will see a minus sign (-) which is the negative terminal of the battery. The negative terminal connects to the other wire and is called the cathode electrode. If you will rinse a small soda pop bottle several times and then fill it with your DW and send it to me I will test it and provide some other information that will be of value.

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.

If a small white cloud drifts downward, then there is salt in you DW, and your still is not working correctly. You mentioned The 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.
