Hello Sylvie, I thought that pale yellow was the natural color for cs. The cs maker that I use gives me that color. If I leave the device on too long the yellow gets stronger. My original instructions on using the cs maker was that a yellow film would leave one electrode as conductivity commenced and that was normal.

Room temperature and stay away from fridge? Should I then stay away from colored bottled, in order to allow monitoring of cs color ? What is "strong TE" and is that good or bad?? Sorry I'm really a pain...:-)) Sylvie ----Original Message Follows---- From: Ode Coyote <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>cs color Date: Sat, 11 May 2002 23:44:49 -0400 Hi Sylvie My phone has been out for a few days, the line having been carefully severed by the county water main installation crew. Pink or reddish CS has some pretty big particles and should probably not be injested. It's OK for any other purpose. Possible reason for it going pink could be major temperature shifts, contaminants in the water [ I think one batch went pale violet because I was swigging it from the bottle and might have spit into it] and maybe even sunspotsor something. It's a pretty rare thing and I've had about 5 batches do it in 3 years. Something destabilizes the CS in a week or two, usually in winter, and it's hard to get a handle on the causes. One other person here in NC has made reddish CS with the Ole Bob and one in Florida has had some occurance of making CS that turned Yellowish. Other than that , no one has reported a recurring problem, just a weird one now and then. A several days ago I mad a 46oz batch and split it between two identical bottles. One I placed in the kitchen, the other in the bathroom. The one in the kitched went pale yellow in 2 days. The one in the bathroom is still just fine after a week. THe differences in location are , the bathroom doesn't get any sunlight whereas the kitchen doesn't get direct sunlight. [I have had batches sitting in the sun for years with no change] The bathroom is deeper up under the tin roof. [radiation deflector?] The kitchen window was open allowing wide day/night temperature fluctuations The Ole Bob is set to walk the edge of stability as related to PPM. It makes really strong stuff. You could back off on the run time a bit. Try this. Short the electrodes together momentarily with a spoon or something to get an idea of what full brightness of the LED is. Start the batch with the motor not running till the LED reaches that brightness or seed the batch with some previously made 'good' CS till the LED is at full brightness. Start the stirrer and let it run for one hour. NOT scrubbing the electrodes tends to reduce fornmation of deposits. Just wipe em off. CS that has a strong TE will tend to appear to be any color that's around it. Sometimes I have to take it outside to see what color it really is [or isn't] _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
