Hi List, I am a new member and I hope you can settle an argument. I have been making CS for many years, using deionized water as I live in the UK where distilled water is hard to come by. I have now been told in no uncertain terms that it is impossible to make good quality CS using deionized water, and that only distilled water will do the job. The deionized water I was using for several years was from the biochemistry lab I used to work in, and had a resistivity of less than 0.1 uS/cm (resistance 10-15 megohms/cm), which is at least as good as distilled water. I now use deionised water that I buy (from my local pharmacy or from Superdrug), but it seems in every way identical to the lab deionized water - the initial current is identical and the colour and taste of the resulting CS is identical.
Do I really need to start distilling water, or can I carry on using deionized water? If I can't use this water, why not, as it is at least as pure as distilled? Surely it is the purity of the water that maters, not the method used to purify it. Thanks in anticipation, Paul Holloway -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
