uuummmmmmm .... brings more questions :> But they will have to wait till tomorrow :) good night jan --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Okay if the ppm drops a couple of numbers, as it stabilizes, that is still a good thing,] -Yep, the silver didn't go anywhere, just changed in 'composition' if you like. [as long as the ppm number does not go up, which would be in the direction of "clumping" and lesser quality. Correct ???] -Nup, I don't believe it's of any lesser quality, just means some of those positive charged ions have collided with each other resulting in atomic clusters being formed, which I understand are negatively charged. [So lets say you brewed it at 5ppm, two days later its tests at 7ppm, and you sit it on the shelf for one year, come back, test it again, ... will it be 7ppm ??? ] -Personally, I've never had it go up after a couple days, my experience shows the readings can fluctuate a tad up or down dependant on water temperature on any given day I check my solutions, and I suspect that wouldn't change even after many months in storage. [Its not that Im planning on leaving it on the shelp that long ... but I am concerned about storing it for my horse. She is stabled at a barn, away from my house, so Im going to be making about a week's worth of CS, and taking it to the barn for the people there to give to her on a daily basis. So I am concerned about whether or not storing it that long will cause any issues for her. ] -I don't see how it will cause any issues, other than that solution will have a lesser amount of positively charged ions. This is where/why I choose which solution to use for a particular circumstance...do I use a solution *immediately* after production to maximise on the ingestion of positive charged ions, or do I use a solution that I've had in storage for some time which will have a lesser amount of positive charged ions and more negative charged particles? [And I was told that I need to store CS in a "light proof" container, such as a milk carton -- or at least keep it out of the sun. ] -I store mine in clear glass containers in a cupboard.
