  Marshalee Asked Mike Sr.


Are you using salt to make your CS?
Mike Said:
No. I just start with 1.5 DW and let it go. 
Thanks for answering all my questions.

What is the actual shelf life of CS?

Actually, I have no idea, as my batch is used up in 2 weeks or so. At least 
we know it lasts that long!

  Hello List:
  I am a newbie and I have built a nice CS Generator with the help of Walter 
from this list. (Thanks Walter.)

  Hi, and welcome!

  You can see it here:

  I have a few questions:

  1. After the CS is made, I filter it through a standard coffee filter. Is 
this OK ?
  Do I lose a lot of silver by doing this? Is there a better way?
  No need whatsoever to filter the CS.

  2. Should the CS be kept refrigerated? 
  No.

  3. What is the shelf life if kept in Cobalt blue bottles?
  Why do you think it needs to be in blue bottles? I use a clear plastic 
drinking water bottle and it is just fine. Mine lasts about 2 weeks before it 
is used  up and I make a fresh batch.
  Are you using salt to make your CS?

  Thanks
  Mike, Sr.
  Hope this helps!!
