Interesting, I wondered if they were the same maker, and that maker is you. Good to know! :) So what's the difference with the electrode mounts? > Quarts typically take 7 to 9 hours but much depends on water quality > and no two jugs of water are the same except by accident. That makes sense for the source water. what happens with the end product when the source water is within range, but a higher TDS out of the jug, compared to lower TDS "higher quality" distilled water? IE. You shouldn't use tap water because the TDS is too high, what is the reasoning behind this? By no 2 jugs of water being the same except by accident: If you mean the distilled water right out of the jug from the store, aren't batch numbers going to be the same... not sure what you mean here. :) > No need to baby sit..set it and forget it..it waits for YOU.

Does it go wrong because it gets near completion, full saturation of ions; or set level of saturation and doesn't want to move past that, thus things like agglomeration can occur.

And if I need a gallon that day, say I'm sharing with a friend who's in dire need and my dog is sick and my... then I can setup a gallon and leave it. Isn't seeding a gallon going to speed it up as well? Thanks Ode, Have a blessed day! :)
