Hi David:
Interesting. However, I won't even bathe in tap water around here, and
wouldn't drink the water even if it were basically filtered. For that
reason, I'm out! :o) The water I use is always 50 uS or below.
Best of luck, though!

I'm reluctant to mention the medium because it will sound completely
crazy and I wanted to experiment for a bit longer but here goes... Its
my ordinary tap water.
Its ordinary fluorided, chlorinated, filtered mains water of about 440uS
or 250 ppm. It varies in quality from day to day but the important thing
to note is that it has been filtered to remove all particles. It has no TE.
I've made a number of very high ppm batches in this stuff. Various sizes
from 250 mls to 2 litres. My (Faraday) calculated ppm is usually at
least 200 ppm (sometimes much higher) but the water remains crystal
clear, does not go yellow, grey or black even sunlight. I NEVER GET A
significant T.E. and and the uS has increased by up to 100 uS.
I understand this is counter-intuitive. Impure water has been a no no
for a long time. The usual expected result is that the silver ions will
rapidly combine with the dissolved salt to create silver chloride
particles and a white mess. And yes that is what happens if you use too
much current, such as 3 batteries or a 12v wall wart. But I'm using a
constant 1mA or less (thats very important) and for some reason the Ag+
is not combining with with the Cl-.
I believe that for some reason the saturation point of Silver in this
medium is far higher than in distilled water. I dont know if its unique
to my water its or its a common phenomenon. I'm now experimenting using
distilled water with various levels of salt added.
Please try the experiment yourself in your own filtered town water (or
any non distilled water) if you have a constant VERY LOW current
generator. I'd be very interested to hear your results.
David.
Right, I'll bite!
For a start :
* What size rods are you using?
* and what volume of water?
* What is the water quality?
OK,
Tony

Hi David:
Did you run the batch with a meter in-line to verify the stability of
the current? ~Jason
I'm using a Silverpuppy/Silverwell. Current controlled to 1mA, give or
take a few microamps. (I have a meter running in line with a batch
right now. Says .969 mA. Close enough I'd say.
