ok, well, steve, and all, i may ruffle some feathers (again, i am new to this 
forum), but it seems to me all simple things eventually get complicated b/c 
someone wants to sell one more meter or another something that makes it better, 
even if it ain't broke.  there is so much confusion about seemingly EVERYTHING 
from what's right to eat to who to pray to, that i just want the easiest way to 
do it.  i'll just stick with the way i've been doing it for almost 2 decades.  
i've had great experience with cs, as have many people i've made it for, and 
none of us are blue yet.
thanks for your input.

no personal experience, but it's a cheap little fabrication marketed for way
too much money, and not a good design either.
look at the Silver Puppy and the Colloid Master, study the subject some more

Re: CS>CS Generator

2013-07-17 Thread MaryAnn Helland
Hi Gidon.  I'm happy that you've decided to purchase a generator and make your 
own colloidal silver/EIS -- rather than purchase it.  Good decision.

That generator might be a good one -- I'm not familiar with it, myself -- but 
it's awful expensive.  And unnecessarily so.  My Colloid Master from 
Synergenesis cost less than half of that.  Might be a little more expensive now 
-- I've had mine for about twelve years now.  I know that the Silver Puppy is 
also a good unit -- and it's priced similarly.  Do some more research before 
making your purchase -- that's my advice.  :-)

I have no experience with the generator you are asking about, but I do have
many years of engineering experience with my own designs.  Reading their
advertising hype, the $240 Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator looks
like to would produce a good product.  But you can achieve the same results
as claimed for it for a small fraction of the cost.  Here's how: 

1) Buy an LM334Z constant current regulator.  A good source is Jameco.com,

your constant current regulator and your silver electrodes.  You can make
connections to your batteries and electrodes with small alligator clips and

5) Immerse the two silver electrodes into the water, spacing them about two
inches apart, and ensure only the silver wire contacts the water.  About 24
hours later, remove the electrodes and use your product.  

Your product that will be at least as good as that produced by the
Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, or any other commercial unit.
Because the constant current is extremely low, you will produce very tiny

With my 1 mill amp controller you can walk away and let it brew.
How long it take is up to your set up.
You can use a night light up against container to make some currents in
water.
I have one of the magnetic stirrers and brew a gallon at a time.
How long it takes varies according to voltage (for start).
Once you have some silver in water voltage drops to maintain 1 mill amp.
You can also shorten time by seeding a new batch, with some from last batch.

Re: CS>CS generator--9 volt battery ?????

2009-11-17 Thread Ode Coyote
 Small batteries will only deliver a certain amount of current...big 
batteries will boil the water when enough silver winds up in it.
 A wall wart will melt down...even catch fire...if it doesn't burn up a 
winding and permanently quit first.


 You actually DO need to control current with ANY source of electricity to 
prevent "runaway" and get an optimal current density on whatever size 
electrodes that are being used.


 Time is such a HUGE variable that just a small difference in the starting 
water will make a big difference in how long it takes to get to a desired 
place..even by several hours.
 Add to that an acceleration curve with no control over current rise as 
conductivity goes up with the addition of silver ions and it's like trying 
to tell when a rock will hit the street when you have no idea how tall a 
building is that it was dropped off of.


 Without going into the effects of overloading the Nernst Diffusion layer 
at the surface of the electrodes
 If you are to have any idea what you have done, to get any sort of 
consistency, you need the instrumentation and/or the control.


 That said, an observant eye is a sort of instrumentation and it can tell 
you *about when* to yank a battery out of the pile to get the current 
down...and when to stop.


BTW
 A series of 3 nines IS a DC unit.
The power is the the exact same as what comes out of a well rectified and 
regulated wall transformer.

2009-11-16 Thread Neville Munn

My take on it...

 

No reason you can't just plug and play, but the longer it's on the more silver 
is pulled off the electrodes as the water becomes more conductive, closer 
observation is required so it doesn't get out of control.  A resistor in the 
circuit does away with the time watching TO A POINT, I still remove electrodes 
to wipe clean every 30 minutes when the timer goes off, no big deal with me, 
not like I got anywhere else I have to be while in production.

 

Volt meters and the like only make my process more complicated, I don't need 
them, a resistor to limit current, an LED light in the circuit so I know 
everying is working when electrodes are submerged, and a timer set on the side 
and jobs done for me.

does one need regulating diodes and volt meters in order to use a Wall DC unit 
for making EIS?  I don't understand why you just can't plug one in and monitor 
the time.  Diodes and volt meters aren't required when using a series of 9V 
batteries -- what makes a DC unit different?  MA

You can make a Controlled Current Generator with and Wall  DC power supply
using
a Current Regulating Central Diode they come in various currents 610-1N5297
from Mouser Electronics is for 1 Mill amp
You put this in line with power supply with a volt meter you can measure
voltage (higher as Silver is further apart and lower as you move silver
closer together). It adjust voltage to maintain  mill amp rating..

one does not need anything to regulate a "dc wall unit for making eis. i made mine, using three 9 V wall units, wired in series, that puts out about 28 volts dc, with not load on the unit. i followed that instructions going around on how to figure how much current flow i needed to make 15 to 20 ppm eis. in my unit, i let the current flow untill i read 1.35 ma's on my harbor freight $3.00 volt  meter. if i let it go to about 1.6 ma, a slight twindge of yellow will show up.
 
you could do the same with one 9 volt wall dc unit.  only the elapse time will change.
 
and silver that is assayed at 0.999 ( 3 nines ) is as good as 0. ( 4 nines ).  if you are aware of the difference, i can esplain it to you. take care,  jim

To all  (especially new members)
You can make a Controlled Current Generator with and Wall  DC power supply
using
a Current Regulating Central Diode they come in various currents 610-1N5297

You put this in line with power supply with a volt meter you can measure

closer together). It adjust voltage to maintain  mill amp rating.
 
  Bob
You could buy parts you need but you would have to know what exactly the
parts are.
Then you would have to hard wire the items, he uses a circuit board.
You could use just a 9 volt battery to battery connector and then to a
couple pieces of silver
With no light. Above is a controlled current CS generator where you can
increase current for increase
In amount of silver in water. Or just increase current for faster brewing of
CS.
When you take a Volt/Ohm meter to measure voltage on a DC wall plug in you
are measuring
Voltage at a no load condition but if you are using a 1 mill amp controller
this is very
Close to no load condition. Example a 12 volt 400 mill amp power supply puts
out 12 volts
At a 400 mill amp load. At 1 mill amp load it could put out anywhere between
16 and 22 volts.
The interesting thing is when measuring the voltage and using a current
limiter you can move 
The silver around closer and further apart and watch the voltage change to
maintain the mill amp
Rating of the current limiter.

This is why I NEVER knock the battery units Bob, I still use them when 
necessary.  Just need to adopt a methodology or system (can't think of the 
right word) when using them and they're fine.  I took a piece out of someone 
recently cos they constantly bag out home units, battery or otherwise.  There's 
a fine line between promoting something...and BS, and I got tired of them 
constantly crossing that line with "ours is the best and home stuff is 
inferior" attitude.  If one knows what one is doing, it's all good stuff.

Hi Kathy,

Welcome to the group! I haven't been around here too long myself. This group is 
a great place to find what you need and then some! I have a Silver Puppy and 
and am very with its performance and the customer support. If you think you 
need a high volume generator there are others available that will produce CS 
quickly in the gallon range as well. Anyone claiming to offer the best may be 
best avoided. Ask questions, research and hang around here for a while and 
you'll pick up a lot. 

blessings,

Peter

Hi Cathy..
Welcome!
I have a SilverGen that I purchased 10 months ago.  I needed the large unit 
because I make cs for a kitten/cat shelter.  I make  5 to 10 gallons a week 
with it and couldn't be happier.  It's very easy to work with and dependable.  
Trem, was helpful with information and the purchasing experience was positive.
If and when the time arrives that I need another unit, it will be ordered 
through SilverGen again.

As a side note on water.  After trying many store brands of distilled water, I 
found that the distilled water sold at Wal-Mart, has been perfect for what we 
need, in quality and price.  

Hope this helps, Lin

hi this list has no archives.  it sucks, but list owners choice i guess.

it's not clear to me what you mean "a AC/DC (home v. professional) model".

i believe the most popular (for good reasons) home models are the Silver
Puppy, Silvergen 6 (?), and Colloid Master.

the SPuppy and CM are available in models that run off 12 VDC for
portability, only a bit more $.

there's plenty of ways to get much simpler/cheaper, but there's also good
reasons to not to want to.

Hi Cathy, don't know if I should welcome you to the list seeing as I've only 
been here a week of so myself, but who cares, I will anyway...welcome to the 
list!

I make my own units as well and I consider mine produce a product which is 
equal/better to any other units available, (this could be argued I spose).  I 
have sort of reached my own conclusion from information available, and reading 
between the squillions of lines, if my units are any good or not.  As long as 
one tries to produce a product which appears to fall within given parameters as 
researched, then it should be fine.  If you research the net on this subject 
you will soon see what I mean.  Alternatively, as Andy said, just buy one, and 
he's right, they will all tell you that their's is the 'best', I don't 
subscribe to the theory on whose is the 'best', as I don't accept there is a 
'best', only more models with more features, [opinion of course], besides, I 
wouldn't have a clue anyway as I've never 'bought' one as such.

Enjoy your stay here!

Hi Cathy,

Welcome to the list! I built my  own generator because I like building things 
and it is somewhat more flexible  then a prefabricated one. It is also a lot 
cheaper. If you would rather buy one,  a lot of people seem to like the 
silverpuppy - http://www.silverpuppy.com. It  seems to be reasonably priced and 
is a 
good point of reference as you research  what is available. Of course, 
everyone will tell you the one they sell is the  best.

I hope this helps...

  One problem with HVAC is the possibility of making nitric acid.
It will register on a meter and some who make and sell the stuff don't know 
it, then have a 20 PPM product turn up with 3 tenths PPM silver as dilute 
silver nitrate + dilute nitric acid.

Using the neon transformer method:

If there was an air gap between the water surface and an electrode,
nitric acid would be created in the humid atmosphere.
Not desirable!

The electrode had to be positioned close enough to the water surface
so that when it was energized, a cone of water would be
electrostatically drawn up to encompass the end of the electrode.

As the process wore on to the end, the water cone will drop and
disengage from the electrode. (Undesirable as nitric acid starts
producing)

Bob came up with the idea of using a carbon dioxide "blanket" to
create an inert atmosphere at the water surface.

My solution was to simply dip the electrode slightly below the water
surface.
Worked OK for me.

I drifted toward Duncan Crow's Pulsed HVDC method by modifying a
microwave oven.
That's what I use now.

RE: CS>CS generator

2007-06-30 Thread
Keith,

 

The best way to use your 30 volt supply would be to add a constant current
diode in series with one of the wires going to your electrodes.  See
www.mouser.com   and search for J504 and J506.
These are 0,75 mA and 1.4 mA, respectively, and cost $1.62 each.  I would
recommend the lower current one.  It will take longer to "brew" a batch, but
you can probably get away with not needing a stirring mechanism because the
natural thermal gradients will do it for you.

 

Having a constant current means you will generate CS at a constant rate
which means you can use a timer for fairly repeatable results.  Roughly
speaking, you can generate a quart of very fine quality CS with 0.75 mA in
about 8 hours with a strength of 10 to 15 PPM.

 

Then you should buy a Hanna PWT to make sure you have high purity distilled
water to start with.  It should read in the 1 to 4 PPM range, lower being
better.  You can also use the PWT to measure your "brew" to get a rough idea
of how many PPM of silver you add to your distilled water.  I say rough
because the PWT actually measures the conductance of the "brew" which is a
measure of silver ions in the water and only an indirect measure of the
silver particles.

 

With the above, you don't need to use an LED and resistor.

Hi all..Some of my questions have been answered so far but decided to start
over again to see what the group says. I have a Radio Shack 30vdc 1000mA
power supply that I would like to use but I can change my mind, I have 20"
of 12 gauge silver wire. I know that I don't need 1000mA but around 1 mA  so
I need to know how I can get that. I would like to drop the voltage down to
about 18 volts as I heard that it is better to use lower voltage. I really
wanted something that will let me have a constant voltage and milliamps but
I figure it would drop with batteries. I will need a LED and a resistor but
don't know if I need a 1000 ohm or a 2000 ohm resistor or what I will need.
Any info would help. What do others use to make quality CS that they have
made that doesn't use batteries?  I'm going to use the battery setup but
wanted to make a ac to dc generator. Thanks..Keithmj

Kathryn,

If I understand you correctly, a 90 ohm potentiometer hooked up in series
would allow me to vary the resistance from 0 to 90 ohms. Is that correct? Or
is that kiloOhms?

Peter
 


Dear Peter,

It says 150 on it, but it is 2 x 75 ohm units on top
of each other. When I check it with my multimeter, it
says 90 ohms each, so it is actually 180 ohms, not
150.  However, I buy my parts at a surplus store, so
they might not be the top of the line. I have it
hooked up to only one part, so it would be a 90 ohm
potentiometer (variable resistor).

I got a diagram from  somewhere on a current

100K potentiometer, which you can adjust to control
the current. In the diagram, you just hook it up in
series. So that is what I do, and it works fine, I get
a much better product, but it takes a little more
time, which is fine by me, maybe an extra 30 mintues
per quart, max.

*NOT* readily available as it is here. Rather, our previous experience 
is that their nearest equivalent is called by a different name and only 
available (at considerable expense) from "the chemist's."

Many have found the best approach to be buying their own distiller.

 Reverse Osmosis water can sometimes be good enough, but not

 Filters can even add contamination to distilled water.

good tingle, recycle 'em.

I just had a batch turn grey, it was stored in PETE plastic jug on the stove
when my son made tater tots in  it, which realy got the CS hot. The batch in
the glass jar stayed the same (slightly yellow), but the batch in the PETE
went grey, like there was charcoal in it. I suppose the silver coming out of
ionic state into larger particles? Tasted stronger, but still use it, albeit

Kathryn,

What is the rating of your variable resistor? If I can have that description
I can search to find one.  Thank you

-Original Message-


There are no stupid questions. A Voltmeter reads
volts, but a multimeter is so much more useful. The
batteries last  a long time. I don't know how long. I
have not run out yet.  

So if you get a multimeter you can keep track of many
parameters of this process, which I like to do. Mine
cost about 30 dollars, and can measure Volts, Ohms,
and Amperes, among other things. You would want one
that can measure amps down to a few milliamps, so you
can check your current strength. If you have fun with
this, you can get a variable resistor (mine was cheap,
under a dollar, I forget how much) in the correct
range, and can set it to keep the current under a set
level, which you can measure with the multimeter
gadget. It just gets attached in series with the wires
with the clips on the ends, and if you have the meter
hooked up in series also, you can read what is going
on. It is really fun.

Dan's right, but a *little* bit of caution is in order. If your skin is 
wet, from sweat or spilled water for instance, the resistance is lower 
and there can be some injury at lower voltages. Connection to a mucous 
membrane, such as in the mouth, is also a potential hazard.

It requires a circuit, a path from one end of the battery pack, through 
some part of your body, and back to the other end, for any current to 
flow. Don't give it a low resistance path and you won't get shocked.

This is why people who work around electrical and electronic equipment 
develop the habit of working with one hand in their pocket. When you 
find yourself reaching into the chassis with your second hand, little 
mental alarms go off and you think *very* carefully about what you're 
trying to do.

It is entirely possible to use electricity and electrical signals 
safely in and around the body, but knowledge, thought and proper 
precautions must accompany your efforts.

The most important thing you can do is ask questions, just as Pat has 
done. Good job!

Be well,

Re: CS>CS Generator & the Bio-available Ion vs. Particle Surface Debate

2004-03-03 Thread Ode Coyote



The problem is that both sides could well be relatively right. [therefore, relatively well?]

If the generator produces both ions AND particles.?

If it 'worked', what's the difference?  'Worked better' is a moot point when dead microbes aren't relativly dead.

People often ask.."How many PPM should I take?"  The question leaves out too many parameters to have an answer other than 'As many as you have'.

Silver chloride kills germs too...just not as well as ions or particles of pure silver.  But dead is still dead.

No definitive answer is possible when 'all of the above' applies in varying degrees depending on a host of mixed conditions and all the conditions are present in varying degrees.

'It didn't work' leaves one with 2 choices.
1] Do it harder
2] Do something else

I'm new here, but let me say that I'm very grateful to have found all of you in one place!  This is my first posting on my first list (hope I do it right).  Many of you are knowledgeable, generous, and helpful and I'm very grateful you take the time out of your busy schedules to share what you know.  Thank you.  I've been taking CS for a couple of years now, from several different sources, and I'm convinced it helped to wipe out my Hep C.  I was very sick before, but not now.  In fact, no one in my family has been to a doctor since we started on it.  Anyway, I've been researching CS online hoping to learn enough to be able to get a good generator to make it at home (I give it away to everyone - family, animals and friends - so it doesn't make a lot of sense to keep buying it at this rate), but I seem to need a little input from those who aren't hoping to make a profit from me.  While reading up on it, 2 totally conflicting theories on CS came up.  From what I can gather, the first camp bases their theory on studies performed outside of the body in laboratory dishes, and they insist that only the surface of silver "particles" effectively kill germs.  They are convinced that silver particles must come into contact with the offensive germ for the CS to be effective and that silver "ions" will interact with salt in our saliva, stomachs and blood to form silver chloride (? - please excuse me if I use an incorrect term) which is useless.  Whereas the second camp believes, especially when dealing with viruses and germs inside of the body, that the bio-availability of silver ions is the one and only thing that makes CS effective, and not the silver particles, because the body is unable to break down the full particles for use (?).  They say that the body makes metallaproteins to keep silver ions from interacting with saline in our bodies and that metalloproteins safely transport silver ions throughout the body to kill offensive germs.  Now, I've been told that home CS generators make only the ionic form of CS by Camp #1, but particles are still produced as well according to the laboratory analysis reports I've seen!  All of the conflicting information has me frozen and can be very intimidating when it's backed up by studies and professors, but I'm beginning to wonder about that, because there is convincing evidence on both sides.  Everyone seems to be selling something and putting out the info that goes with what they're selling (of course)!  So - here I am.  Can you all tell me what, if anything, you've concluded about all of this?  My gut feeling is that  probably any properly made CS is better than none at all, and will do what we need it to, as long as it's made with clean, distilled water (and no salt, baking soda or toxins).  It probably works even when it isn't properly made, it just might take longer and require more.  My gut also tells me that oftentimes, when there are conflicting opinions with each side on very opposing poles, as there seems to be with CS, the truth can lay somewhere in that middle "grey" area where both sides contributed relevant truths, but I'm hoping you all can shed some more light on this for me.  Anyway, can you all also tell me if there is a generator that is very safe, very simple and economical, that produces CS that is clear?   It would be a big plus if there was a lab analysis of the CS the generator produces online as well, but I'm interested in your recommendations regardless.   Thanks, Jodi

Re: CS>CS Generator & the Bio-available Ion vs. Particle Surface Debate

2004-03-02 Thread Delmont P Neroni
I think you will find the majority of people on this and other silver lists 
advocate the use of primarily ionic silver such as you can produce at home with 
either the Silver Puppy or the Silvergen SG6 or SG7.  Ionic silver solutions 
are clearly the safest and are very effective.

The argument between the particulate and ionic camps is ongoing.  I am no 
expert, but I will quote someone who is, and from that you can make your own 
decision:

Del
---

1.  There is no silver in measureable existance smaller than a silver ion,
except the possibility of monoatomic silver.

2.  Different particle sizes do not effect different conditions.
Ogliodynamic properties are soley responsible for silver effectiveness.
Whether or not different sized "particles" reach different areas of the body
is a different question all together.  There is no direct biological
advantage to "larger" particles of silver, under any circumstances.  A
silver ion will always be more effective directly than a silver particle.
Every single study in modern history supports this fact.  There are some
properties to charged particles than may have a different and beneficial
biological effect; this has nothing to do with sizing, but rather, zeta
potential.  Zeta potential is related to particle sizing, and smaller
particles will effect a larger surface area with a greater potential.  This
is beneficial, as far as particles are concerned.  However, no facts have
been documented concerning what these effects are.  As far as anybody knows,
the silver particles may be converted to silver ions "at-site", and it is
the silver ions that are actually being effective, but the initial
particulate form which allowed biological delivery.  There is a precidence
for this:  Silverlon wound care dressing.  The minute "energetic" properties
of the different states of silver cannot be ignored.  Unfortunately, they as
of yet cannot be directly correlated with a biological response.  Direct
Current can and has.  There is no reason to assume that colloids and ionic
solutions are any different. But it is important to keep the "theories" in
proper perspective:  Theories.

There are alot of opinions on the benefit of particulate silver, and very
little documented data to support claims.  I do believe some of the
ascertations are correct.  I believe having a "mix" of both ions and the
smallest possible particles is certainly advantageous.  I believe we reach a
point very quickly where the debate is simply splitting hairs, as far as
biological effectiveness is concerned.

HVAC sounds like a great idea, but it has been my experience that few
companies truly create a superior product via the high voltage method.  I've
never liked how the particles tend to clump together with HVAC.   I prefer a
product with proper particle dispersion, examples being TEM's from Natural
Immunogenics, and Trem's Silvergens.

We have no basis to compare products based on sales-focused terminology; we
require a TEM, AAS, and ideally an antibacterial time-kill study.  These
three measurements, when compared with other products, give a fantastic
basis for evaluating CS.  We expect a high particulate silver to perform
poorly against pathogens ( as compared with ionic silver ), as every test
we've seen has detailed.  This does not negate the potential benefit of
silver particles. Particles are more "chemically" stable in the body.  We've
never had, as an example, a report of Mesosilver being innefective in
comparison to ionic silver.  It's hard to speculate on the differences
between particles and ions, as they perform in the human body.

For home brewers with good CS generators, keeping the PPM relatively
reasonable ( in the 5-10PPM range ) will, we believe, produce a product that
is very effective.  I would never buy into a sales pitch pushing HVAC
without hard data being displayed.  As an example, 'ole Bob has excellent
data on his methods of CS production.  If a company is not displaying any of
this information, they either don't know what they have, or don't want you
to know what they have:  They want to you have their sales pitch, which is
NEVER in your best interest, and ALWAYS in theirs.  Their theorizing may or
may not be accurate, and theorizing should be presented in a manner
consistant with "theory" and not "fact".

The public, it is my opinion, should not settle for less than accurate
information that is presented in an authentic manner.

If they state that fulvic acid and silver is better, then they should simply
demonstrate it, which is not difficult to do; not only would their
constituents be happy ( so to speak ), but it would be good to avoid
potential problems with the FTC.

  Hi Stuff,

  First of all, you really don't need to send your cs to a  lab unless
  you are producing it commercially.

  If you  are young and healthy, it really doesn't matter how  good or
  bad the  cs  is. Many people have obtained great  benefit  with  a 3
  nines generator  despite  huge  variations  in  quality  of  the dw,
  electrode length  and placement, variability in brew  times, battery
  voltage, and so on. It works fine to kill bacteria, help  heal minor
  cuts, and even some of the weaker viruses.

  The salt  test  is ideal in these circumstances to  show  you indeed
  have cs, and to give an idea how strong it is.

  I posted a brief table a while ago that gives a rough guide. This is
  in 10  ppm  increments, but you can easily  interpolate  between the
  readings and judge the concentration within 5 ppm:

http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m61467.html

  Since then,  I discovered Bob Lee's Faraday calculations,  and found
  how useful Mercury is to calculate the amount of silver liberated.

  I also  realized it would be possible to measure the  time  it takes
  for the  dispersion  to  appear,  which  would  give  more objective
  information on the amount of silver present. I have not had  time to
  run through  the  process in small increments, but  it  would vastly
  increase the usefulness of the test.

  It is  really not necessary to send you cs to a  lab,  especially if
  you are  young and healthy. It won't tell you much  about variations
  in your  process,  where  the salt test can be  used  daily  at very
  little cost.

  If you  do decide to get an analysis, make sure you use  a  lab that
  has demonstrated competence in this field.

  One good  way to verify is to check the correlation  between  uS and
  ppm. As  Trem, Frank, Ivan, and Ken agree, there should  be  a close
  correlation between these two parameters.

  Right now,  Frank's analysis looks to be the best available.  He has
  published reports on various products on his web site, and they show
  that he knows how to get accurate measurements.

  He also  has  NIST traceability, which is  necessary  to  ensure his
  calibration references remain accurate.

  But most people have never sent their cs to a lab. There's really no
  need, especially  if you are using one of the  better  cs generators
  discussed here.

I'd like to know how your salt test can easily tell CS strength within 5 ppm
AND be a "very subjective" test.

What quantities of salt are needed to test what quantities of CS and then
with each given quantity what is the ppm?

  Hi Trem,

  There are  plenty of posts in the archives discussing  problems with
  the PWT  and getting it calibrated. Some people have  even discarded
  theirs. How do you verify the calibration solution is still good?

  After collecting  data from you, Frank, and Ivan, I'm  now convinced
  it is  a very valuable instrument, and I plan to get one  soon. Then
  I'll attack the calibration issue.

  The salt test is very subjective, as you say. It's a quick test when
  nothing else is available, and it can easily tell the ppm in about 5
  ppm increments.  Often, that's good enough to tell if  something has
  gone wrong with the process, or to see a change after adding H2O2 or
  vinegar to the cs.

  Or see if the Hanna has gone haywire:)

  We need  all  the crosschecks we can get  to  confirm  everything is
  working properly.  I'm  now converted to the Hanna,  thanks  to your
  information. But  I'll  continue  using the  salt  test  when  it is
  appropriate.

Best Regards,

Mike Monett

  Hi Lynda,

  As you  discovered,  a  slight tint is a  good  indication  that the
  generator is  working properly. It is possible to make  high quality
  cs that is clear, which is what the advanced users strive for.

  But clear could also mean the generator is not working, and you just
  have plain distilled water.

  Advanced users measure the ppm with a Hanna PWT (Pure Water Tester).
  This gives  the  ppm  directly,  but  it  is  expensive  and  may be
  difficult to know if it is calibrated properly.

  There is  a  simple test you can do to see if  any  silver  ions are
  present in your solution.

  Pour about  1 inch in a small glass, let it sit for five  minutes to
  settle, then  add two or three shakes of salt. Watch it for  a while
  to see  what  happens.  You should see something  by  the  time five
  minutes have  elapsed. You might have to adjust the lighting  to see
  anything if the concentration is very weak.

  The salt combines with the silver ions to form silver chloride. This
  shows up as a pale blue dispersion that gets progressively whiter as
  the concentration increases.

  The reaction also speeds up. With a high concentration, white clouds
  appear almost immediately.

  This will  give you a rough idea if silver ions are  present  in the
  solution, and approximately how strong your cs is.

Best Regards,

Mike Monett

Hi all...
For @$7.00 we found a 2 qt Pyrex pitcher with a plastic cover at Walmart... 
We put 2 holes in the lid about 5" apart, suspended the silver wire into 2 qts 
of distilled water and attached alligator clips to the silver wires on top of 
the pitcher. We then placed 3 9v batteries together in series to form the 
connection. 

To connect the batteries required 3 9v battery connectors...Radio 
Shack.com...cheap... 
They're soldered together 'in series'... To do this solder 1 black 
alligator clip to the first black wire...solder the red wire to the black wire 
of the next connector...then repeat soldering the red wire of the final 
connector to the red alligator clip... If you don't solder plastic connectors 
available to attach the wires...

When the alligator clips are connected to the silver wires poking through 
the plastic top...remember not to let the silver wires touch. By touching they 
will short, the batteries will overheat and possibly cause a fire... and the CS 
process stops.

Also at Walmart is a cheap aquarium pump...under $7.00 and a stone aerator 
and plastic hose for @ $2.00. Place the aerator in the the pour spout of the 
Pyrex pitcher with the plastic tubing connected to the pump...Then plug in the 
pump to create air bubbles...

We usually run this process for @ 5hours... Less now that we have CS to 
'seed' our next batch.

I don't have a way to check PPM, but our CS is clear with slight metallic 
taste... seems to work fine...and the Pyrex pitcher has a handy pour spout 
which is a real plus. We save our CS in glass mason jars. I put them in the 
cabinet, but thanks to "Ole Bob", I don't worry anymore that the jars are 
clear...thanks...Bob!

Someone mentioned an inexpensive device to measure PPM...I'd appreciate 
that information again...And thanks to everyone on this for all the great 
information!

Comments to improve our process are welcome.

That is the hard way to connect 9v batteries.


 Just snap them together and connect the remaining two ends to the silver 
wires with double ended alligator test leads.

 No cutting or soldering required.
