I don't understand why you electronics gadget guys insist on making such a
complicated unit! Three 9v batteries, two jumpers, two silver electrodes,
and a quart jar.


Well I've got my batteries and silver wire. will pick up crocodile clips
tomorrow but am finding it impossible to get distilled water. I've tried
pharmacies, garages, brewing suppliers and everybody looks at me blankly. I
can get 'purified water' from the pharmacy but I've no idea what it is. they
say it's sterile but not distilled. I can get distilled water on the
internet but the postage is obviously quite a lot. Where do people get
theirs?   What sort of shop. I'm in UK.

Also I know this may be a stupid question but I'd rather sound stupid than
remain ignorant. How do I know when the batteries need changing. How long do
they last?

Many thanks for all the help
