Mary, Welcome to the list!
It is normal to produce a little bit of "sludge" along with your product. Just let it sink to the bottom and carefully decant off the good stuff, leaving the sludge & a bit of liquid. Then dump out that residue. I don't recommend using a filter as it will just contribute unwanted chemicals into your batch, and it is an unnecessary pain to do it. You can store your product in the jar you made it in if you wish. And you don't need to clean the jar before making another batch. If your generator doesn't automatically reverse polarity as it runs, and both electrodes are silver, it would be a good idea to swap the electrodes each time you make a batch so they get consumed evenly. --Steve Y. -----Original Message----- From: kayedoe [mailto:kaye...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 8:04 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS>Newbie - Just began making CS - SilverGen questions Hi all, I'm new to the list . I heard of this list through Beck n Stuff yahoo group. These questions may have been asked a gazillion times in the past but I had difficulty finding the list archives. so here it goes........... I've been using cs for about three years (myself/kids and pets). Up to this point I got my cs from a friend but I wanted the independence of making my own so I bought a generator. I just received my SilverGen unit last week and began making my own cs. I am using distilled I made using a steam distiller. Up to this point I am using a 32 oz glass jar. I was thinking I would prefer to make a gallon at a time. I do have 1 gal wide mouth glass jars. I don't have any form of TDS or PPM meter so I have no idea exactly what the final results have been. I have the meter set to high. Although I have been using cs for almost three years I have some newbie questions in terms of making cs on your own. A couple of observations I wanted to bounce off others who making their own, especially if they are using the SilverGen................... Sludge build up only on one side. Is this normal only to build up on one side? Ash? What is this? In the 4th batch, I noticed what appears as a small ant hill like pile in the bottom of the jar. Once the build up on the silver was visual, I began wiping the silver clean before beginning the next batch. I did have a laser, one of my cats favorite toys :o) so I checked the solution and was able to see the laser line through the solution. With the help of the laser I was able to confirm that here were different particle sizes visually in suspension that were not visible to the naked eye. The product does have a silver taste. What I am referencing as ash is NOT metal fallout as I know it. After I noticed this result I stopped production. The solution is CLEAR, no presents of color. Do I simply filter this batch or discard? If have you all used to filter cs? Any suggestion and comments are welcome. Mary -- In Love, Light and Honor..............
