From Ruth Strackbein, I am still concerned about whether or not my distiller is making DW that will work well in a cs generator. I use the blue bag diamond softener salt, but wonder if using a salt block would be better or worse. Perhaps pellets would be the best. My softener runs every other

Hi Ruth, Use the full 4 quarts but leave the filler hole open for about 5 minutes after steam is coming out of the hole before closing it. To avoid getting a steam burn turn off the still until little or no steam is coming out of the filler hole. Then cap and restart the process.
