Gene... is your DI water from a home filter system or some other source? i sure do wonder just what it is that's happening to account for the difference.

This made me concerned about the CS made with DI water, so I did some measuring. Using a COM-100 the PPM immediately after making the CS was 8.8. Two days later the PPM is 5.6, so there is a stability problem with CS made from DI water. I measured some older CS made with distiller water and got these readings: 7.6 to 7.1 8.0 to 6.9 8.0 to 7.5 so CS made with distilled water is more stable than CS made with DI water. I will continue to experiment with DI water. Gene Wolfe
