Re: CSwater distiller question
You are on the averaged billing plan then...it's not a flat rate and the 3 KW to distil a gallon of water is like 30 cents or so. Tel points out maintenances issues, but using charcoal filtered rain water as the source water should alleviate that to a great degree. A distiller that doesn't boil the water would be better too..like a solar still [free energy] or vacuum still. Ode Yep we do. I think Dee's like me. I pay a flat rate by direct debit monthly. For this I get a slightly cheaper rate but it's still metered and at least once a year the monthly amount is adjusted depending on how much I've been using.

yes, but we pay by direct debit in advance, so if the bill is more, you have to pay extra. This is just a way of spreading the cost.

Re: CSwater distiller question
We also pay by direct debit here in Germany. They base it on previous months usuage. If you end up using less at the end of the year, you get money back, and if you use up more, then you pay the difference, and your monthly debit payments will be adjusted to the new usuage amounts.

Re: CSwater distiller question
That is 1/2 the story Ode Coyote, I have had 4 very good distillers over the years, in each case the elements get full of corrosion and deteriorate and no way of cleaning them after they are worn out, so you bye new ones, (at the cost of the original distiller) So you buy a better one, same thing happens and so on. Bottom line unless your making cs for sale on a large volume, it is cheaper to buy distilled water at a good source, Check the dissolved solids count of mineral in your Distilled water before you use it. ( a Hanna tester is not too expensive) google it, I get mine at Walgreens Drug, last year they were high in dissolved solids, and most of us quit them wrote the co. letters, they changed mgf. and its back to between 1.5 and 3,5 ppm. on TDS tester. $65 cents is pretty cheap for a gallon of Colloidal Silver now days.

FW: CSwater distiller question
Your distiller looks to be very similar to mine. I never had the instructions to mine so I use it the same way you would use a still. First, you want to get rid of the impurities that have a lower boiling point than water. You can either discard the first half oz or oz of distilled water or you can boil the water in a pan for a few minutes before adding to the distiller. I do the latter since it also speeds up the distilling process. Then at the end, you want to discard the last oz or so of water. I simply stop the distiller with a little water left in the distiller and discard the undistilled residue. You may have rust deposits or minerals form in the pot. Just clean them out. They should not affect your distilled water if you do as described above. Some people have had really poor water that requires distilling the water twice. I have not. If your pot is the same as mine, the inside pot is stainless steel and the residue may be from iron dissolved in the water. I wouldnm't worry about rust - just clean it out. To improve the taste of distilled water for drinking purposes, most people filter the water through an activated charcoal filter after distillation. - Steve N From: dingyun...@att.net [mailto:dingyun...@att.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 1:23 PM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CSwater distiller question Hi, group This is my first time buying water distiller.

Re: CSwater distiller question
Hi Helen, It looks like this post was not seen the first time. Questions: What kind of distiller do you have? Rust in the bottom is not a good sign, as you have noted. Have you checked the conductivity of the water with a meter at all? I do not have one, but remember some posts about a Love water distiller? I am a little fuzzy on it. Maybe someone else will chime in here. Kathryn On Jul 7, 2009, at 3:22 PM, dingyun...@att.net wrote: Hi, group This is my first time buying water distiller.

CSwater distiller question
Hi, You might find this of interest. I'd been using Wal-Mart distilled water and then changed to some from my grocery store. The moment I used the grocery store distilled water, my CS machine refused to work. It turned out to be the water. When I poured out the grocery store distilled water and replaced it with the Wal-Mart water, the CS machine worked perfectly. Jean * I have ALWAYS used grocery market distilled water. Always bought the cheapest (currently from WallMart). Been doing this for over a decade...no problems.

Re: CSwater distiller question
Yeah, you just have to try it and see how it works. You can't even go by brand because they use local regional distillers. Chuck Character density: The number of very weird people in the office.
