Hi Mike, all,

Thanks for the very good link. This guide states that deionization does
an excellent job in removing dissolved gases. I think I'll give it a
try, even if some of you have suggested that it doesn't remove them. I
am going to deionize distilled water, anyway. In the top cap of my HV
probe I have a cavity designed to collect all possible air bubbles so
that they will not interfere with the electrode activity.

About ionization, I believe that measuring AC for short periods of time
will not produce a relevant amount of iones.

About conductivity and sediments, I've got a prototype which I build a
couple of months ago. There is no sedimentation and resistivity is still
1.2 Mohms.

Best Regards
