Hi Chuck,

Thanks so much for your response. One last question: In generating CS with HVAC,
is the positioning of the above water electrode verticle, such that the gap is 
between
the end of the electrode and the water? Or, is the above water electrode 
horizontal and parallel
with the water surface?

Would anyone know the quickest way to get .999 silver?

Thanks again,
Jeff (After 10 years with Lyme, if all is not lost, where is it? )
