Ode, That's what I thought - thanks for the info. I'll find another use for the "fancy glass" vessel with the nice metal spout. The spout is copper brass color - so I am sure what you describe is what is happening here. All the desired ions are clumping/depositing away on and around the metal spout - no good. Plus the potential for lead or other contaminants from the "fancy glass" - back to the basics, sun tea jars.

Just drop a piece of shiny copper into your container and let it sit a few days. It will become covered with black fluffy deposits as CS conductivity and TE goes down to zero.
