Hello All, I also heat my distilled water while making my colloidal silver.
I am using a CS generator designed by Weeks Parker that can be put together for about $ 20 U.S. using Radio Shack parts. It works very well with an output of 40 volts. I use .999 silver wire and or silver rounds, both seem to be effective. I heat my water by using an automatic coffee maker and leaving the pot on the heating element while I'm brewing the CS. I can see silver being released in 15 to 30 seconds with a gold to amber solution in 10 to 15 minutes. I am of course using distilled water. My dilemma is that if I leave it on for more than that time (say 20 to 30 minutes) it turns a cloudy gray color. If I bottle this gray liquid it will turn a golden or amber color in 1 to 2 days. However, the last time I made CS I left it brewing for an hour or longer (OOPS). That solution turned a very turbid gray and never became the lovely golden\amber color I so enjoyed seeing (even after a week to 10 days). These are just some observations I have made. Any thoughts\comments? Yours in health, Scott
