Hi John How's about using a lower frequency which will give the ions a chance to escape before they go back to whence they came! Cheers

(low voltage in one direction, for a longer time, followed by higher voltage for a much shorter time, in the other direction). But even this approximation of pure AC really slows the production of silver ions in the water. It takes a week to produce a quart of silver water, instead of a day, when the reverse voltage is blocked. Evidently, if you reverse the voltage faster than the silver can get away from the anode, most of the ions just turn around and go back to where they came from, each cycle. I suspect, if the solution is being well stirred, the reversals could come faster without the production rate going down so severely. But I am guessing. By the way, the mode with rapid reversals does keep the electrodes much cleaner than the unidirectional pulse mode does. So, if I can figure out how to speed it up, its lower electrical efficiency may be worth while. -- Regards, John Popelish -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
