Yes, heating the water is quite common. I left it going for 20 minutes but nothing happened except > that one of the rods got black stuff all in a circle on the bottom of > the glass. But no bubbling and misting like it was supposed to. Sounds about right to me. The less bubbling and misting the better, this means you are not wasting energy forming Hydrogen gas at the cathode, and are generating small particles. 20 minutes sounds a bit short to me, can you tell me what voltage the unit operates at, and what is the wetted depth of the electrodes, how far apart and the volume of water? I should invest in a cheap laser pointer. You will then be able to see silver colloid in otherwise clear water.

Is this > the general opinion? Most dont use saline because of the silvery result. This generally means relatively large particles, poor shelf life, and the production of silver cloride.
