Paula, Ken, Paula's experience might be a good lesson for us all. Contamination might help explain why some people have unexplainable problems getting repeatable results with their cs. I got very ill several years ago drinking contaminated cs. Since then, I am religious about not allowing anything to touch the electrodes, keeping them in the air while transferring the cs to another container, and keeping the generator tightly closed at all times. Since then, along with a reliable source of dw and a precision constant current source, I have no problems making highly repeatable cs. I am experimenting with colloidal copper to kill the mold spores that constantly plague me. I'm starting to achieve some positive results, but I'm finding colloidal copper is much harder to make than ordinary cs, and much more sensitive to contamination. It is difficult to get above about 3 ppm (calculated), and very difficult to get repeatable results from one batch to the next. The results are not only non-repeatable, they are not even similar. I took a hint from your experience, and soaked the glassware and electrodes in fresh isopropyl alcohol, then wiped everything dry with plain unbleached toilet tissue. I'm starting another batch and will see if this helps. Thanks for your posts! Best Regards, Mike Monett -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
