Hi, Sandy. I am not expert, but I was exactly where you are about 3 months ago. I will answer your questions by telling you what we did inside your message.

I have been reading the conversations on this list with great interest. I have several health issues that I think might be helped with the introduction of CS to my current routines. Eventually I would like to purchase the equipment so that I can make my own at home as this seems to be the most cost effective way to obtain CS. So here are my questions...I realize these have probably been asked before but hopefully someone on here won't mind throwing out the answers one more time.

1. What equipment besides a CS generator (I'm looking at the Silver Puppy at the moment) do I need in order to produce CS that is safe and effective? I remember someone mentioning meters to test PPM I think and also to test their distilled water if I remember correctly. We visited a friend near us that had a SilverGen generator and she showed us how it worked. She was very happy with it, so that is what we bought. I have heard many good things about the SilverPuppy also. We also bought a COM-100 Conductivity/PPM Meter from the SilverPuppy website. It is a very nice meter.

2. Is there someone on the list who uses a Silver Puppy to make their own CS who would be willing to sell me some to try prior to my investing the money in a generator to see if I see any physical benefits from consuming CS? I can't help you on this one, becasud I don'g know what you are looking for. I can say that we have found many uses for CS that we had never dreamed of. Fro example, we have dogs, and we put some CS in their drinking water and they seem to drink more, and the pan stays very clean. It is amazing stuff.

3. If I decided to get equipment to make my own distilled water instead of trying to rely on a commercial source...can anyone recommend a reasonably priced, quality distiller that is easy to use? We decided to start drinking distilled water so we bought a Love distiller from http://www.waterdistiller.com/ for $99. It seems to be a good unit and we have made about 6 gallons since it arrived on Friday.

Hope this helps,
Gene
