I might add that when using a process that is very very slow, or uses
bubbling, the water has time to absorb CO2, producing silver carbonate.
Silver carbonate has a solubility of 32 ppm, so it is possible to exceed
40 ppm if silver carbonate is being made.

It could be, though I am also skeptical. Natural Immunogenics for
example only has 23PPM with all their years of work. And that is also
suspiciously close to one hypothetical upper bound of roughly 26PPM
(13PPM silver oxide, 13 PPM silverhydroxide). This lends credence to
that hypothetical upper bound (without using ultra low current density
like Mike is doing, that is).
How is the 40PPM measured on the SilverGen? A built in meter? Short
of getting a batch lab-analyzed, the correctness and relevance of the
reading that that meter gives would need to be validated. The
conductance drop over time after the batch is finished would also need
to be viewed. Also visible plateout or fallout. Also potential
contamination sources.

Would you mind sharing more details on this? How small must the
batch be? How pure must the water be?

Anyway, I've made 40+ ppm CS with a Silverpuppy in the past.
Its not that hard. Its just a matter of using very pure water
and keeping the batch size small. Trem has also said he's
made 40+ with a Silvergen. Mike would dispute this of course.
