Re: Storing CS

I also use the 25 ounce sauce jars to make the silver in, then I pour in through the coffee filter and store it in those little mason jars. I've seen some videos on youtube of people making a gallon of it at a time; that would be much more convenient than not having to make it every week or so, especially if I can store it for a long time in glass..

Can I use my Sota SP Lite to make a gallon? I think it would take forever?

Going back to the TDS Meter debate, I just read this on a site:

What is a TDS Meter and how do I use it?

TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids. Such a meter is designed to measure the concentration in parts per million (ppm) of substances that are dissolved in the water. When measuring colloidal silver, we see one major problem...colloidal silver is a suspension and not a dissolved solid. By definition, a colloid is a particle that is suspended in a liquid medium. In this case, silver particles are the colloid and the water is the liquid medium. It would make sense that the TDS meter is more likely testing for impurities that have dissolved into the water and not actual silver colloid. One of the largest manufacturers of the TDS meter agrees. We have spoken extensively with this manufacturer about the accuracy of using a TDS meter to test colloidal silver and they agree that it is not an accurate tool for such measurement. The TDS meter is probably best left for testing your distilled water purity. Many people offer this meter as a means of accurately testing colloidal silver ppm. Be aware that this is not considered an accurate method for testing such concentrations.

My TDS shows around 10 after my 25 ounce jar has been cookin' for 3.5 hours.  I would like to have 20ppm, but now I'm unsure again about what it is that I'm actually producing.

Is there anyone here that has a conductivity meter AND a TDS meter that can tell me what their TDS meter says when the correct PPM is known?
