David, I looked at your site and it wasn't the site I took the pictures off of.
I didn't see the pictures I used on your site either...hummmmm...but my
eyesight isn't too great either. I was only using the picture because it is
very clear and easy to see the setup.
Barb, I use distilled/purified water making my CS, then strain it using
several regular coffee filters into another clear glass jar(mason jar, no lid).
I store it in what they call "non reactive" brown 16 oz. plastic bottles that
I buy at Walgreen's Pharmacy for cheap. They're the same bottles someone would
get liquid medicine in. I have some amber glass bottles I also use to keep it
in. I keep some in a 2 oz. amber glass bottle with an eye dropper on it for
eyes, ears or hard to reach places on me and my poochies!
I also like the fact Harold makes his own DW! Maybe 1 day I will do that too
if I can afford too and if I have the brains to figure out how to do it too!
Sounds intriguing!
Kirsteen, as for how long batteries last, if you use a lot of CS like I do, I
get about 1 month out of mine. But then I'm making it for 6 dogs and 3 people
presently...(Family and pets). If I were to only make it for myself and no one
else, the batteries would likely last many months. I can tell when I need new
ones when the CS doesn't end up looking like it usually does for me. Tonights
was a nice clear to yellow color which is what I shoot for.
I'm fairly new to this list, but have been making CS for many, many years
using an inexpensive generator I purchased from James Allsion in the beginning.
I have used it and made it for animal rescuers and rescue animals. I love it!
I use CS in our pet's drinking water and none of our pets have ever been HW
positive in any way! Though I can't prove it is a HW preventative, it seems to
be.
How interesting all of you are! What a great list! Thank you for helping
all of us learn and expand our knowledge! Cheryl
