The starting current of water heated to boiling point, in my experience, will be about four times that of room temperature water. The time to generate 10ppm is about three fourths of that taken by room temp. water. > > Are we talking about heating the water and using hot water, > > or boiling the water to remove dissolved gases then letting > > it cool down before using it?

This shelf life is for unopened containers. I have found that d. water that is stored in a partly used, ie half water half air, is unuseable for my purposes in a month. Probably absorbed CO2 etc. I use Purified Water B.P. (British Pharmacopea standard) as manufactured by McGaw BioMed and as recomended to me by my microbiologist. This is the water used in manufacturing pharmaceuticals for IV use. Measures about 30K Ohms (E=IR). Ivan. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
