Bruce says the cones are normal, and indicate adequately pure water. You will get small cones at the start if the water is more conductive. I set my arc-bars very close to the water to prevent long arcs which may fry the transformer. I have been thinking lately that I may be setting too small a gap; the sputtering may contribute to production increase.
The cones diminish as conductivity increases with more silver in the water. Check the manual. Big caution about arcs over about 1/8 inch, or something like that. My standard placement of arc bars above water is about 1/16 or less. Cones run about 1/2 to 3/8 to start. Bruce says arcing near the end of a run is normal, but since I do not monitor my batches, I just want to make sure I don't fry the tran.

You run your system with cones? I have a HVAC system. I do not allow it to cone. I add 2 ounces of 10ppm starter per gallon and do not let it get close enough to cone... rather i keep the electrode about 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the water. this keeps a small arc present. a cone reaches above the water surface and prevents the arc. am i misunderstanding what you are speaking of? or are you referring only to starting the process in regards to the various heights of your electrode placement depending upon the water used?
