<< Do I understand you correctly? 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. >> The two arc bars are placed as close to the surface of the water as possible without touching. The electrode is completely submerged except for the hooks. I start with room temperature distilled water. I do not 'seed it'. The water increases in temperature and conductivity as the batch 'grows'. The cones get smaller and smaller and sometimes arc close to the end of the batch - doesn't effect ppm - but sometimes do get a better tyndal when arcing has occurred. Better tyndal doesn't necessarily mean higher ppm. Can't tell you how my systems is made,- didn't make it - only can tell you what it looks like. There are pictures at www.csprosystems.com . After I flip the switch, I don't touch anything until the unit is turned off. Sometimes I stop the batch and add a little water to make up for what has condensed on the side of the container and decrease the arcing in the process.
