Hi Debbie. I used to buy my CS, but it's ungodly expensive. You can purchase it at most any health food store, but it'll cost you up to thirty dollars for 8 oz. For the price of a gallon, you can buy the equipment to make your own, and forevermore your CS will cost you the price of a gallon of distilled water. Can't beat it. And you don't have to *trust yourself* making it -- it's extremely simple. All of the units available have easy-to-read instructions, phone numbers for help if needed, plus you have the collective knowledge of the people on this list. As a group, we haven't found that *more is better* in the matter of ppm's. In fact, I'd be pretty suspect of any product advertised at 100 ppm's. I would wonder what they did to it to enhance those ppm's -- what was added in. A ppm-level of 10 to 12 is perfectly fine for most every application. I've even heard that *less is better* -- and that 5 ppm's will do whatever you need it to. But even up to 20 ppm's is safe and effective. I know that this is all kind of scarey when you're first looking at it, but it isn't scarey at all -- it's simple and a health marvel. MA P.S. I bought my unit at www.wishgranted.com -- it's the Colloid Master. What I like best about it is that it's automatic -- it shuts itself off, so I don't have to hang around waiting for my CS to finish brewing.
