I time my process throughout and stop the process at regular pre-determined timed intervals to remove electrodes from solution to wipe clean, then resubmerge them. I repeat this process til I get the uS or ppm reading I desire. I have no problems and nil fallout or gravel on the bottom of my storage vessels after days/weeks or months in storage. I check and record uS and ppm readings, TE, colour of solution, observation of any mud etc every day til the solution reaches a point of stabilization, then I check periodically ever after to make sure gravity hasn't pulled any silver out of solution. My experience shows readings can fluctuate *minimally* even after stabilization point has been reached, water temperature on the day being one reason for this.
