Floating Reactor method of making CDS

Yes, thank you, I would like to know how to make citric acid CDS in three hours. And please add me to your Quick CDS Telegram group.
 

It's great once you get a rythm going with the process. No more 24 hour bakes. Quick CDS!

Thanks, CL. The wet method looks pretty easy.

What is shown as “CDS water” at the top of the page starts out as pure water (such as distilled) and then turns into CDS water at the end of the process, correct?

When I extract the CDS water with a syringe with a needle, the needle should not be metal, correct?

I read somewhere (maybe from you) that the fragile CDS solution would keep better if it is stored in multiple airtight one-ounce glass amber bottles instead of one large bottle. That would help keep the CDS samples airtight until I needed them. Does that seem like an advantage?

Thank you,

All chemical vs stainless steel compatibility charts I have seen, except for one, say CLO2 and SS are compatible. One of the best types of SS to use with CLO2 is 18/10 (316). Used an 18/8 (304) SS water bottle for daily dosing of CDS and it worked for months before I noticed small pits in the SS. Now trying an 18/10 (316) SS thermos to see if that SS will work. There is not supposed to be any iron in 18/10 (316) SS.  You can check using a small magnet.

That would help keep the CDS samples airtight until I needed them. Does that seem like an advantage? Those very small 120ml bottles could be used for CDS storage or hourly dosing. Amber colored glass bottles keep out UV light. Filled full to the top excludes air which is not good if you plan on storing CDS long-term. But, now that we can make CDS in about 3 hours, there is no need to store CDS long-term.

Thank you,

You point out an important advantage of citric acid: that it will not gas into CDS, making it a “cleaner” end product than with HCL. Given that advantage, once CDS is made from CA using the wet method, how meticulous do we need to be in removing CDS from the bento box? For example, my doctor wants me to start with 1 ml CDS dissolved in 1 litre water as my daily intake. What if I simply removed the lid of the bento box, removed 1 ml of the CDS with a glass syringe, mixed the 1 ml CDS with 1 litre of water, and poured the resulting solution into eight 120-ml amber colored glass bottles with screw-on plastic caps? I would drink the contents of one bottle every hour.

For example, my doctor wants me to start with 1 ml CDS dissolved in 1 litre water as my daily intake. When the CDS is finished brewing at about 3 hours, I would suggest to put the bento box in a fridge for a few hours to cool down to below 10C (50F), so when you take off the lid from the bento box, there will be less loss of CLO2 from CDS. Then, you can take out as much CDS as you need. But, I would not store CDS in the bento box very long as its lid is not really that airtight. Glass screw-top bottles should be much more airtight.

When transferring to the fridge after the 3 hours with the dry method, do you leave the reactor in, or remove it?
