spacing:  about 3/4 inch or a little less
time:  25 minutes & clean electrode, 25 more minutes.
Hmmm....good point....I DO wipe off the feathery deposits, but ALSO, when a
lot of feathery deposit occurs, I DO stir it into the CS......
Why is it bad to allow the feathery deposits to mix in with the CS??

I heat the water only before applying electricity.

turns grey slowly during run time.  visible stuff settling - not
sure....probably.
I will try to not allow the feathery deposits to release into the solution.

Thanks for all the responses!
