Once CDS is made and placed in a sealed jar, how long does it last for?

It can last for months. How many months? Who knows. I have left CDS in a frig for 3-4 months and it's still potent. Heat, air, and light are what to avoid = frig

Store CDS in small bottles to reduce the amount of air space at the top of the bottle. 

The bottle and cap need to be able to contain the very small size of CLO2 gas. 

Now that we can make CDS in 3 hours time, there is no need to store it long term.

@CLO2

I have been storing my CDS in 16 oz glass amber bottles and not making a new batch until the bottles were near empty.

So what started out as over 3,000 PPM CDS (with a full bottle) could be closer to 2,000 PPM or less by that time in the bottle is empty.

Am I understanding that correctly?

TIA,
Jim

Yes, that is true. CDS keeps degrading the longer you store it. If you can test the CDS for CLO2 content (ppm), you could use more of the CDS so you are getting the same CLO2 dosage. If your CDS measures 1500ppm, then you would use twice as much of it compared to CDS that was 3000ppm. 

Now that we can make CDS in three hours time, you could make CDS daily or weekly, so you will always have 3000ppm CDS.
