The electrode is pure silver, of a specific surface area and always submerged, hanging between the two arc bars at a specified distance. The distilled water I use, always allows the pulling of the two cones to a height of 3/8 to 1/2 ". The product is clear to very slightly milky. i.e the density you would get by adding two or three drops of milk to two liters of water. There is no color to the CS. In a four hour batch I usually never have to adjust the arc bars if I get them very close to the surface of the water to begin with. Anytime over two hours, and I use the cooling fan in the unit to keep the transformer cool. Ian -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
