Good distilled water is nothing BUT water..no ions..as is de-ionized water.
Two ways to do the same thing
You control the current to BE low and constant..so you CAN have 'a' setting.
It isn't like that without any control.
It'll "run away". drawing ever more current with the addition of
conductive ions that makes the water draw ever more current.
Rain water is distilled water....usually in a dirty glass with no sides,
called air, for part of it's life span.
"Dead" water may just be water that has no Oxygen dissolved in it.
Add some electricity across some silver wire to make some Oxygen and
Hydrogen and you get "Frankenwater" ....brought back to life with a silver
bolt through it's neck.

Hey Ode,
Yeah, the CM shuts off when it reaches the setting you set. The next thing
I'm looking at are steam distillers to have our own water. We've been
using a britta filter, but I've been skeptical of the things, although I
must say, the water doesn't smell, nor does it taste funny, so at least I
can drink it now.
I've always thought distilled water, like the jugs you buy for the iron or
car, the water inside was "dead"... no minerals, nada. But I think I can
get used to drinking distilled water, if its really not unhealthy to.
I did read somewhere, that you should be able to control the current, but
I don't understand why. It contradicts what is written elsewhere, where
the current should always be low and constant. Why would i want to set any
other settings?
Thanks for all of your input. I've also read a site of yours, or I believe
its yours, where you comment on certain sites, where generators are offered.

The CM uses constant current and a voltage reference to tell itself when
it's done [as does the silverpuppy and the silvergen]
The silvergen sg6 is DC output only, the CM has an alternating
electrode polarity feature that uses an electromechanical relay, no DC
output, the silverpup has a choice of DC or alternating polarity
[optional on the pocketpuppy ] and is entirely solid state.
The PPM dial is a potentiometer that changes the reference voltage for the
PPM setting.
The SG6 and silverpup will turn themselves off when the conductivity of
the water is at the desired place..the CM 'might' just display a light to
tell you when it's done [dunno if it turns itself off or not ]
The dials are not calibrated for any specific PPM but will do the same
thing each batch IF the electrodes are in exactly the same placement.
You'll need a meter to tell what that is.
Using repeatable electrode position to do that job IS calibrated, but the
choices aren't infinitely variable..but at least you know what the choices are.
There's no way to exceed the max PPM setting other than to reposition the
electrodes further apart on the CM or the sg6
The silverpup lets you go as high as you dare with an auto/ manual switch
for making CS Gel etc, or use bad water if you have to. [optional on the
pocketpuppy ]
Polarity change does in fact do "some" stirring, directly between the
electrodes...sufficient for a quart batch, but better if the jar is about
the same length as the electrodes.
Exposure to water vapors is a stir motors nemesis due to eventual
corrosion...and potentiometers and relays eventually get iffy like any
part that "moves".
Puppy stirrers are never exposed to water vapor and one has no moving
parts at all... TO corrode and freeze up.
