Jerry, I use the weak stuff too (5 ppm or so) and I have had great results. If it has been working for you and your friends, I would think that you "are" making it correctly. Some of the people here using the strong stuff are fighting Lymes and I wonder if maybe it is just much more difficult to kill than most other things.
By the way, I don't heat my water, or use salt, or long 'cooking' times (only 20 min. 36 V DC.). I do use distilled water and find that the process starts slowly. When I see bubbles on one electrode, I set the timer for 20 minutes and it comes out great. Maybe you are like me and don't actually need the industrial strength CS. There is also a line of thought that suggests that the higher ppm solutions actually cause the silver particles in the CS to clump together, effectively increasing the particle size. I don't know if it really does or not, but if it does, the higher ppm solutions may be less effective since some think that it is the small (.001 to .004 microns) sized particles that are most effective against bacteria and such. Here is a quote out of the literature that came with my generator. N.R. Thompson of the Runcorn Health Laboratory in Cheshire, England reports, "The Concentration of silver necessary to sterilize water contaminated with pathogenic bacteria is between .04 and .2 ppm." That is much weaker than what you and I are making, so we are probably okay with our "weak" stuff. That's my opinion, others will vary.
