Hi Guys, Chuck, I should have been more specific. Every batch I made the other day was weird -- especially the ones with new distilled water. They were wierd while I was making them -- or at least very different. I have never had large amounts of sludge on the electrodes -- and I did this time. I make mine with the beck silver pulser - which runs on a 9 volt battery converted to 27 volts. It's a simple machine and I can"t reverse the electrodes - so it wouldn't be that. But I think Ryan might be on to something. I don't use salt in my water -- just distilled water - room temp - usually takes around 35 minutes to make a clear or light gold solution with pretty good tyndall. The new distilled water I was using -- Arrowhead -- is the one that made the sides of the glass get coated with silver - caused extreme sludge and took forever to get any tyndall. Now, before I was using Sparkletts distilled water that said on it no sodium -- so maybe the arrowhead has more salt in it?
Gonna experiment again with the two waters and will let you know. Thanks for the help.

I had too much salt in the water.

I've had this happen to me when I ran several test batches,but I figured it was because I kept reversing the electrodes (switching them back and forth from positive to negative for each batch test). Lindeman said, some days are like that. Brita Freedom's the Word
