Another diagnostic test I forgot to include is to plot the conductance curve. For the first time, this allows you to look inside the process and tell what is happening. My software automatically plots these curves, so I can examine them for every brew I make. They tell you an enormous amount about what is going on inside the brew. I show two examples of these conductance plots and how to interpret them in a post to the SilverCentral forum. They are at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/silvercentral/message/23?l=1 Yours may show a considerably diferent shape since you use pumping to distribute the ions. It would be very interesting to examine some of your plots and see how well the process is working.
