Hi Jim, No expert here. I'm just learning about all this like most of us. Here's a couple more data points to plot :) I've had 17uS CS in my Vicks Ultrasonic humidifier sitting on a counter for about a month now - out of any direct sunlight for what that's worth. It's been used maybe 10 minutes total in the last month. It was brand new when I put my 1/2 gallon in it. I looked at the CS today and it was perfectly clear like when I put it in. I emptied the humidifier which had about 1/2 gallon in it. There were a few small grey particle floaties but not too many. Around some places in the plastic were small black dots that did not easily wipe off (looks like a little oxidized silver to me). The ultrasonic plate was clean. The PWT reading today was still 17uS.
The most interesting discovery was that I tasted the CS that I had emptied out(still clear and the same PWT reading as when it went in the container), and it tasted like the new plastic of the humidifier smelled. I'll probably run a batch or two of pure distilled water to get the newness of the plastic to dissipate. Hypothesis: could your CS be reacting with manufacturing deposits or the materials in your humidifier? If so, possibly just running it a few batches with distilled water on your porch or somewhere suitable could solve the problem - kind of a wash of the internals. If the CS is reacting in a way that the distilled water isn't, then the problem would not be solved as long as the CS was in contact and reacting with that material. It would probably vary with brands as to exactly what material went into the construction. Is it safe? You have to decide, but I wouldn't drink or breath the colored muddy stuff you describe. Something is going on with your perfectly good CS to transform it into "who knows what". Maybe the experts will shed more light....

Would the "Experts" please give an opinion as to what happened to the "good" CS after being used in the ultrasonic humidifier. The color today is a brown grey with a hint of purple. Besides the question of what happened, there is also the concern of "is it still safe" to use or should it be discarded after one use? PWT reading today is 12.6 uS. ORP + 457 mv. The Tindle still looks like mud. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Meissner" <jpmeiss...@yahoo.com> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com>; "walt" <kort...@skybest.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 3:38 AM Subject: Re: CS>Walgreens Vaporizor! > The CS that I make can be left sitting in direct sunlight without any change > in color or strength.
