Hi Sol,
Hey, you've raised a couple of things here which is why I am starting to
relax, settle down, and am becoming more confident and comfortable about
this whole CS thing. Oh, and what I am about to say here is only from a
personal perspective you understand. I have used both Distilled and Pure
water, still do use both, and MOST times, I get a clear solution anywhere
between 10 and 20ppm, (by way of example), no worries there, BUT...a week or
so ago I made a batch, using the same equipment and process finishing up
with a clear solution and at 11ppm, however, just 2 days ago I happened to
open the cupboard and...low and behold...this batch has taken on a
distinctive golden colour! WHAT THE...??? I have a 2 litre batch also
which I made BEFORE this batch and at 17ppm and guess what...it is STILL
clear!! I don't think the biggest or best brain on this planet, (or any
other if it comes to that), will ever get this CS stuff totally sussed!
I have read articles and have had a couple of people on the net stating that
the ppm will go UP initially before going down again after a stabilising
period...in the 5-6 years I have been making CS I have NEVER had that
happen, mine always drops by around 3-5ppm after 24 hours. This suggests to
me that de-min water acts differently, I don't use it so I don't
particularly care or want to know.
It's these personal observations that lead me in a particular direction
regarding my own assessments of the do's, dont's, rights, wrongs, water
used, current controllers etc etc etc. I'm beginning to cut through all the
scientific hoo's and har's of ICS and am just settling for what I believe is
a good product I can produce in the home which will be of an equally good
medicinal value. Reading the mountains of information available has been a
learning experience for me but I am now starting to discard a lot of what I
have researched and am only holding on to what I think is relevant to me in
the making of ICS as produced in the home.
Now, I have just got my brother in law interested in CS and he made a batch
last week using demineralised water, and his went UP!! Now I am of the
opinion that distilled water is NOT the same as demineralised water, (I have
my own ideas on that), and the above examples, regarding ppm going up,
proves to me that demineralised water will have a different effect as
opposed to the other 2 waters mentioned. I don't need explanations as I
don't use de-min water anyway so I am not particularly fussed. I just do
what I do and occasionally I may hear something that is worthwhile hanging
onto for future reference. This bloke is in the chemistry trade and I know
he will do some lab testing on his own CS now, before he retires, so I will
have more information. There is only one test I want him to do for me,
(when he asks me to have some of mine done...nudge nudge wink wink), and
that is rainwater. He did a test for me on that some time ago but I want
another one done. The first one he did on a batch of rainwater using
generator for 3 minutes came back as having a 40+ppm reading. I want that
re-confirmed now.
Before anyone climbs all over my back regarding rainwater, I use this to get
a high ppm in a very short time frame for immediate use on any immediate
issue which may have arisen, and will arise again sometime in the future no
doubt, but I only use it for 5-7 days. My personal opinion is it's OK for
short term.
In an earlier post I stated that I was going to pick the brains of a nephew
about current controllers etc but when he mentioned voltages being
manipulated to accomodate them I stopped him from going further as I want a
specific voltage to work with, not fluctuating just to accomodate a current
limiter. I know there are explanations to go with this but that would be a
whole other dialogue and I don't want to go there at the moment.
Everyone has differing opinions, anecdotal evidence, methods and proceedures
etc etc, which are to be understood and respected of course, but when I boil
all this down it really is only about what I am happy with, which I can do
in my own home, using my own simple equipment and that equipment being
adequate but kept to a minimum, (if you get my drift). I guess if I was
honest I would say that I am in 'cranial overload', or alternatively just
plain 'mentally challenged'. Now I just sit back and wait till I hear
something I consider is worthy of note. Don't get the wrong idea, I am
always ready to learn but I am just tired of trying to work CS out...I
can't...so I don't bother anymore!
Neville.

But have to ask...why did you record this moon thing? You must have
heard something also to look into it.
Hi Neville,
I was getting yellow CS too often, and I was looking into every possible
cause, and I read a post here from someone who said the moon could affect
CS making.
Ode kept telling me it was the distilled water, but I had a very hard
time accepting that. Being terminally stubborn, I investigated everything
else before finally I bought a PWT meter from Silvergen, and by golly, it
WAS the distilled water. Then I bought a small home distiller so I could
control the quality of the water. No more yellow CS, unless I use water
that is less than the purity needed here.
