Important to bring water to a boil uncovered to allow other chemical in the water to boil off below 100 Celsius to vent. H2O boils at 100 degree Celsius at seal level. This is when you should cover it. Good and really simple method. Thanks for sharing.

I did the same thing with a crock pot a couple of times. Took the handle off of the lid, inverted the lid just like you did and put the screw for the handle back in the upside down lid to direct the water flow. What I was trying to do was concentrate some chemicals from some leaves to make insect repellent. What I now see I was doing was using the wrong part, I needed to use what was left over in the bottom of the crock pot, not the distilled water that had been removed. Thank you for a great explanation.

[@royormonde3682]

Use this method sometimes when camping and ran out of drinkable water. The only difference is I use a frame work with coat hangers or one of those toasting grills to suspend the collection bowl closer to lid and away from splashes. It also means you can run it hotter for faster production. Not sure it's cheaper at home like some people want to believe here, hydro cost probably make it more expensive then buying a bottle, but like you said in a pinch it's a good idea.

[@Enoch-Gnosis]

Great to know especially if you make your own colloidal silver at home ! Distilled water is definitely needed ! Thank you 👍🏼

[@patriciakruger2695]

Can you please share how you make your collodial silver?

[@Seriously_sirius2]

@@patriciakruger2695Hi Patricia, I make it for myself & family's use: You will need: - 3 x 9 volt batteries, clipped together, 1 on top of 2 on bottom - 2 double alligator clips. Clip 1 positive and 1 negative clip to + and - on the 2 remaining battery leads. 2 x 1 ounce fine silver wafers (or fine silver wire.) I have been using the original silver wafers I purchased for many years now, and after having made untold gallons of colloidal silver they are obviously not pristine at this point, but can keep using them for the rest of my life, and my children's children can too... best investment I ever made. :-) Fill a Pyrex glass coffee pot 3/4 full of distilled water, set on single burner hot plate to warm. Clip 2 + and - alligator wire clips to your 2 fine silver wafers, suspend those clipped wires from 1 stainless steel rod (or a stainless soup ladle handle), almost fully submerging silver wafers into vessel containing your distilled water, carefully leaving 1/3 inch between clip ends and water's surface, and also keeping wafers at least 1 inch apart... Yes, it sounds like a silly looking contraption but if you can visual it from my description, and recreate it, you will find it actually does a fine job! You will also need a PPM tester. (Can be purchased Ebay or Amazon, inexpensively.) I test my *distilled water (*which should initially test at 0 ppm) after about 1 hr, as I want to get the colloidal silver potency up to about 22-24 ppms, whilst lightly stirring/vibrating water occasionally, using a glass rod. (I have no idea why I do that. I used to know... I'm old now.) Test. Watch KZbin. Test. Bake a proofed loaf of bread... Test. Clean the bathroom. TEST. (How's the patio looking? Mine is full of magnolia tree blossoms at this time... needs a daily sweep. I do whatever needs doing around the house while "cooking" colloidal silver...) :-) Once I see that my water is turning a "light golden amber hue", I know I'm getting close. Test again. (It's a slow process but not rocket science. If I can do it, you can too.) When colloidal (or "ionized") silver water has reached my desired ppm (higher is better than lower, ideally @ 24 ppm) I then pour it through an unbleached coffee filter, into a large glass Pyrex measuring cup, in order to filter out large silver particles. Retest. Your concoction should test anywhere from 12 to 14 pmm colloidal silver when cooled. Funnel your filtered colloidal silver into *sterilized (*with colloidal silver or food grade hydrogen peroxide) brown or green Grolsch beer bottles, which have those handy dandy built in rubber stoppers, or any sterilized dark glass container, mark the ppm on bottles, and Bob's yer uncle! Don't make too much: mine tends to degrade after 6 months or so, to 7 or 8 ppm. (You can easily make more...) By the way: I finally had to replace 1 x 9 volt battery this spring. (After years of service, for this purpose only.) To clean and re-sterilize your (now severely) oxidized fine silver wafers after use, or if you've used fine silver wire: rub with a paste made of water and sodium bicarbonate. Rinse and wrap clean silver in a cotton hankie to prevent air oxidization etc. until next use. Cheers. Hope all is well in your world.
