You got it backwards.
Anything that clumps is not ionic and won't register on a meter at all.
Brew high, it drops and stays there.
If using only pure water and silver, there are no photo-reactive compounds
made...you can store it in direct sunlight in clear glass for years.
Use salt or baking soda as a "starter" THEN the product is sensitive to
light. [Silver Chloride and Silver Carbonate ]

Boy, this list is really making me feel "new" ... lol ...
Okay if the ppm drops a couple of numbers, as it stabilizes, that is still
a good thing, as long as the ppm number does not go up, which would be in
the direction of "clumping" and lesser quality. Correct ??? So lets say
you brewed it at 5ppm, two days later its tests at 7ppm, and you sit it on
the shelf for one year, come back, test it again, ... will it be 7ppm ???
Its not that Im planning on leaving it on the shelp that long ... but I am
concerned about storing it for my horse. She is stabled at a barn, away
from my house, so Im going to be making about a week's worth of CS, and
taking it to the barn for the people there to give to her on a daily
basis. So I am concerned about whether or not storing it that long will
cause any issues for her.
And I was told that I need to store CS in a "light proof" container, such
as a milk carton -- or at least keep it out of the sun.

No -- lol -- I'll leave that one to Neville! There is some evidence, via our
Hanna Testers, that the ppm-level of CS/EIS will drop a ppm or two within a
couple days of brewing. Some refer to this as *stabilizing*. I believe
that it
is the contention of the knowledgeable members here that some of the ionic
portion of the brew will change over to particulate matter, resulting in a
lower
ppm reading. The real question is whether it's the ionic portion that is
effective in killing pathogens, or the particulate portion. Or is it both? I
don't know the answer -- for my own purposes, it doesn't matter. But
apparently
Neville feels differently, and he was sharing that with Jan. So I'm looking
forward to his answer, as I'm sure Jan is! :-)

Thanks, MaryAnn. That was not clear. Do you know how to discriminate between
the use of 'young' and 'old' CS?
