The color doesn't depend on voltage or amps. It's all in the water.
I ran several batches with one type of water then they ran out and
went to a different brand. All my CS was clear at until I changed
water. The same device, volts, rods, and time etc. The only difference
was the water and the new water was distilled Spring water.
Also if it's turning brown or black then you have silver oxide in
the CS.

Yes, and if you swirl water (mix it) as it makes ever so often as it
makes it will rase the PPM. Another thing is never let the silver rods
touch the glass.
