Silver... or anything in its ionic state.... is EXTREMLY reactive. If you have dissolved sulpher compounds in the water, I'd expect near instant tarnish. Power plants work year round. Windows are usually closed in the winter, so, it might all average out.
Rather than boiling with distiller open...discard the first half of the water? Oh, and see if there's some setting that runs short of boiling. Very hot water helps dissolve things better. ode At 10:56 AM 11/29/2003 -0700, you wrote: > No northern lights visible here, in the corner of southwest >wyoming.....maybe up in Jackson or Yellowstone, 4 to 7 hours drive >from here. > Ozone, huh?
