A higher voltage will "bridge" a lower conductivity better reducing the
initial time it takes to build up current draw, but other than that, it's
pretty much irrelevant to making CS.

Yep, I can immediately see from that that I have it about face. I am
always working the two together, ie; voltage and current, and maybe this
is where I am getting into strife. From information all of you have given
me here I am thinking I should leave the voltage out of the equation for
the moment and just concentrate on current, (voltage will always be there
as the driving force). Perhaps I am mistakenly always thinking of the two
working simultaneously together when I should not be, perhaps I should be
thinking of the two as totally seperate entities, ie; A affects B and then
B affects A and so on visa versa, when I should just let A, [voltage], do
its own thing and mainly concentrate on controlling B, [current]. The
voltage is simply the 'motor' which drives everything and it is the
'peripherals', in this case current, which is the main thing to
concentrate on. Get what I mean? like a car, the motor does the driving,
[voltage], but the transmission, uphill and downhill gradients,
[conductivity in water, current variables resulting from conductivity],
will have an effect on the over-all performance of the car, [particle
size, ions, quantity of each/both etc produced].
I think I concentrate too much on working them both together in my head
when I should seperate them, ie; it's the current that is the major factor
and dictates the voltage used. Having trouble explaining here but I think
I see where I am going wrong. Voltage is always there, regardless, but
the current needs to be controlled, which may alter the voltage at the
electrodes as a consequence, to allow, (or control), the unit to produce
the desired results. Would that be a fair assumption?

Nope, still backwards...
Assuming distilled water
The starting current will be almost nil.
As silver starts to accumulate, the current will INCREASE as the
process continues due to the silver increasing conductance in the
water. It ramps up from near zero.
The increase will continue 'till it reaches runaway, where it
increases very rapidly.
Even with current control, the starting current will be small until
there's enough silver in the water to affect the conductance.
It ramps up to the limit.
Then the limiter will do it's thing and keep the current constant.

OK people, by George I do believe I have finally got it. I have been
digesting all of this while you were all making 'zeds' and now the light
bulb has finally lit.
If I understood electricity better I would have seen it earlier.
Current is high when first starting and gradually falls as production
proceeds. What is required is a 'current limiter' so that when enough time
has passed and the process gets to the current limiter rating...that is
the time to stop production. As I suggested to someone earlier,
I'm sorry but I can't remember who so no offence meant,
"voltage is just the means to an end".
This is what stumped me on the weekend... I hooked the amp meter on and
the reading never stopped, it kept...damn, I am going to have to check that
again, but I think it kept going down. Now I understand what is going on.
I set everything up using tap water to get instant results, or readings if
you like, and the reading was changing almost every second. I expected it
to remain the same. AH HA!! If what I have stated here is correct then.....
...I HAVE FINALLY GOT IT SUSSED! I
didn't realise just how 'blunt' this knife was!
No good me talking to a 'sparky' as it was all g
