No harm in it at all, especially at the start where there are few silver
ions to be affected.
If you KEEP it hot throughout with higher concentrations of ions,
excessive Brownian motion may cause particle collisions and excessive heat
may cross oxidation reaction thresholds.
I've found that so long as I stayed under 120 deg F, no prollem... others
have had success at higher temps though...so "results may vary". [According
to water variations]
I've just never made a batch at over 120 deg F that didn't go yellow, not
that yellow CS/EIS won't "work" or is harmful in any known way.
While observing what ion tracks were doing, especially when the bottom of
the particle arc contacts the glass bottom of the jar leaving black, white
and shiny silver metallic mirror like deposits, it occurred to me that an
updraft right there would prevent the arc from ever contacting the glass.
I started preheating the water and that worked to make the water stay
moving as the water cooled inducing convection currents, except the water
would cool off before a batch over 8 oz was done.....just when the
circulation of water was the most needed.
I had a crystal display light I found at a thrift store hanging around
and tried it. Hey! That WORKS !
I've used thermal convection stirring for many years since then, heat
source, 6 watt "night light" bulb, center bottom of jar. Typical max
temp after cooling balances heating, 90 deg F *under threshold*
On tall containers some stratification of conductivity would occur, so I
started thinking about how to keep the updraft velocity high enough to
shoot all the way to the top, THEN spread out to the sides to cool and sink.
Looking at correlations in the "world".
"Chimney" concept, Power plant Cooling tower....both air and water are
fluids....an inverted funnel has that shape.
Worked GREAT, except for one thing.
Sometimes I'd get a yellow batch out of it, depending on what todays water
was like.
Possibly...Temperature was also being concentrated in the funnel base?
Switching to a 4 watt bulb did the trick.

I've just recently started making my own CS and have read on some sites
where people heat their water first in order to speed along the process.
Is this considered OK to do? Any downside to doing it?
Thanks,

Sol -- maybe I mis-read this, but I understood it to say that CS does not
harm the friendly bacteria -- and gives the reason (because CS decomposes
enzymes required by anaerobic bacteria, which are the unfriendly
bacteria). Did I get this wrong?
In my opinion, anerobic bacteria are not universally the "unfriendly"
bacteria nor are aerobic bacteria the "friendly bacteria" as I have read
that pathogens are found in both groups of bacteria. Just as not all gram
negative bacteria are pathogens, nor are all gram postiive ones
"friendly". I may be misnaiming these groups......
Silver so far as I have read kills ALL bacteria, period, no matter their
type or species, though some are harder to kill than others.
I have to date read nothing I consider credible that has changed my belief.
