Good thinking. It's got to be something happening after the boiling takes place. Some contamination in the kettle would be acceptable; after all, that' s what you are trying to do - - remove contaminants from the water in the kettle. Yes? Normally only steam goes into the condensing unit on top of the "kettle", which converts the steam to distilled water by cooling the steam. Possible sources of contamination. : * Water drops carrying over from the kettle > try less water in the kettle to stop it sputtering while boiling. * Contamination in the condensing head and outlet spout. > check for pockets or leaks inwards. rinse thoroughly. * Contamination in the collection jug. > try a clean glass jug [ another thought ; remembering that you got yours from usa. If it has a 110volt heating element and you have 220v wall supply that is going to be double the power into the water and its going to boil furiously which WILL cause water drop carry-over. ] OK, Tony -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
