For @$7.00 we found a 2 qt Pyrex pitcher with a plastic cover at Walmart... We put 2 holes in the lid about 5" apart, suspended the silver wire into 2 qts of distilled water and attached alligator clips to the silver wires on top of the pitcher. We then placed 3 9v batteries together in series to form the connection. To connect the batteries required 3 9v battery connectors...Radio Shack.com...cheap... They're soldered together 'in series'... To do this solder 1 black alligator clip to the first black wire...solder the red wire to the black wire of the next connector...then repeat soldering the red wire of the final connector to the red alligator clip... If you don't solder plastic connectors available to attach the wires... When the alligator clips are connected to the silver wires poking through the plastic top...remember not to let the silver wires touch. By touching they will short, the batteries will overheat and possibly cause a fire... and the CS process stops. Also at Walmart is a cheap aquarium pump...under $7.00 and a stone aerator and plastic hose for @ $2.00. Place the aerator in the the pour spout of the Pyrex pitcher with the plastic tubing connected to the pump...Then plug in the pump to create air bubbles... We usually run this process for @ 5hours... Less now that we have CS to 'seed' our next batch. I don't have a way to check PPM, but our CS is clear with slight metallic taste... seems to work fine...and the Pyrex pitcher has a handy pour spout which is a real plus. We save our CS in glass mason jars. I put them in the cabinet, but thanks to "Ole Bob", I don't worry anymore that the jars are clear...thanks...Bob! Someone mentioned an inexpensive device to measure PPM...I'd appreciate that information again...And thanks to everyone on this for all the great information! Comments to improve our process are welcome. Kathie
