The gen shuts down when conductivity reaches ~20 uS..then the conductivity starts dropping and averages ~10 uS when it stops dropping. At THAT point, uS is about the same **number** as PPM as tested by a device that CAN measure PPM.....which a PPM meter cannot. Conductivity and PPM aren't the same thing...but the numbers can be the same...or nearly so.

So, at a shut down at 20 uS and a drop back to 10 uS..that means it can be run back up to 20 uS and each time that's done, the drop back is about 40-50% of the difference. At some point the gen just won't run because the stabilized product is at the shut down point where 20 uS = ~20 PPM total silver, both dissolved ionic and unreadable suspended [give or take because of environmental variables] IOW if the TE is heavy, fudge the PPM number up..light to no TE, fudge the PPM number down.

It's like counting grapefruit to see how many oranges you have in a given sized basket....after the grapefruit have dried up enough to be about the same size. I can't afford what it takes to actually count oranges and it doesn't need to be exact in the 'real world' of eat fruit till you're full.

I thought the Silver Puppy shut down automatically when the ppm hits about 10 ppm ? What would cause the Silver Puppy to produce 26-30 ppm when set to Auto & SWAP?

I made a batch of CS with my Silver Puppy and it had a slight yellow tint to it (usually is clear),

Yellow normally means that your ppm is too high.
so I added a little Hydrogen Peroxide to it and it turned cloudy. What does this mean?
It means that the ppm is over 26 ppm, so it has exceeded the solubility limit for the silver oxide.

I thought adding a little H2O2 is suppose to turn yellow to clear.
It does, if the ppm is below 26 to 30 ppm. Often if you wait 48 hours it will still clear, as some of the ionic converts to colloidal, making room for the precipitated silver oxide to redissolve.
