Very interesting. It would appear that the ions you are generating are indeed silver. One more test please. Do you have a laser pointer? Shine it through the 20ppm solution with a varying amount of ambient light. At what point does a line of red appear in the solution itself? A light meter would be handy if available.

<I wonder if you would be so kind as to run a little experiment for the benefit of the group? Run a batch with your bubbler for the same amount of time but do not apply any voltage.

Generator #1 -set up with the electrodes in and the bubbler running but no power to the electrodes -DH2O ppm at zero time was 0.8 ppm (measured with a Comm 100 meter) -Batch ran for 6 hours -Final ppm 0.8 Conclusion -No change in DH2O ppm due to the bubbler Generator #2 -set up as normal but w/o the bubbler -DH2O ppm at zero time was 0.8 ppm (measured with a Comm 100 meter) -Batch ran for 6 hours -Final ppm 15.4 with much more precipitation than when I use the bubbler Conclusion -Batch took twice as long to make a lower ppm CS and contained much more preciptate matter Hope this helps.

I am able to consistently make clear 20 ppm. Before I implemented the bubbler, it was hard to get above 13-15 w/o it beginning to turn yellow. I run the bubble tube all the way to the bottom between the electrodes so the bubbles run up the side of the 1 Qt jar. Works great. Very consistent batches.
