Looks like I'm going to have to re-evaluate what I'm doing. Thanks for your thoughts & link. I'll try to digest the information. By the way, the distilled water when starting measures at 000.

You've made very strong stuff but I wouldnt drink too much of it for too long or it will turn you grey. (Good for topical use though). Probably an hour is about all it needs. You should be switching it off as soon as it turns the slightest, almost imperceptible, silver/grey color. 2. If you put that batch aside you'll probably see most of the silver lying on the bottom in a day or two. 3. Meters only read the dissolved ionic component. Ionic content usually maxes out at around 20ppm. After that, you could run the generator all week but you wont see the meter reading go up. In fact it can actually appear to go down. But your real total ppm could be 1000 ppm or more because you have silver locked up in the particles that are turning the water various colors. Meters are a rough guide at the best of times and virtually useless once the water becomes colored. I've tried to explain meters here...http://www.silverwell.com.au/TDS-Meter.html 4. If you are using a meter to measure ionic ppm you have to times it by 2 to 2.5 times. 5. If the water goes white/grey its probably impure. Greyness indicates some salt in the water (although your meter should be showing that anywway). Whats the ppm of the water? 6. Spacing the electrodes slows down the process but thats a good thing. As is stirring. Otherwise all you do is create an ionic traffic jam between the electrodes where large undesirable particles will be created.
