Thanks Garry. You've given me something to think about! I must say I'm a
bit flummoxed. I'm just your average housewife type person who can't
remember a sodding thing I learned in chemistry, except the bunson burner,
LOL, but I'm learning loads reading about colloidal silver.
So I have to buy an ohms meter, connect it to my batteries and find out what
voltage, or is it amperage? What's the difference. Don't answer that one
please, I'm confused enough as it is :).
I tried using the calculator link you gave. Thanks for that. I'm sure it
will make sense when I know what I'm doing with it. I typed in 36 volts
(thinking that four 9v batteries would be 36v), and then typed in 10000 in
the ohms box and got a reading of 0.0036 amps, which is the current. So
basically all it does is divide the voltage by 10000. So once I get a
reading for the current or the amperage, what then? I suppose this is
something that you have to ACTUALLY DO, to understand any of the terminology
or process. I mean, how does all this amperage etc. relate to ppm of CS?
Doesn't the ppm of CS depend upon the TIME that the current is running
through the water? Does this ohms meter measure ppm CS? I'm very confused
as you can tell. LOL.

You can get a quick down and dirty approximation of 5ppm by making
cs to 15,000ohms or 10ppm by making it to 10,000ohms. Buy an inexpensive
digital volt/ohm meter, then measure your actual battery voltage. Use
ohms law to calculate the amperage (calculators available on the web)
for either 10K or 15K ohms. Put your ohm meter in your circuit in series,
and set to Ma (milliamps) and run your batch until the number you are
reading is the same as the one the calculator gave you. No more guessing.
Also a fish tank bubbler or other stirring method would be a good idea.
Use only distilled water of course. Good luck. Oh, I shut of the power
and gently remove either of the wires. Not sure if it makes a difference
but there is a slight potential there...
