Once you hit the solubility limits of silver ions in water at around 13 PPM, you go into a supersaturation area where environmental variables... trace impurities, temperature etc. play a greater and greater role in 'kicking' off a non conductive particle formation cascade reaction. 'What' is in the water often counts more than how much..and no way to know what, what is. The variables connected with particle formation in a super saturated solution make meters more and more fraught with error the further past the saturation point you go because meters don't register anything BUT ionic content.
A meter reading past around 15 uS just doesn't mean very much. So, up to around 10-12 uS a meter says something fairly reliable but getting there with current 'ramp up to control' on an exponential curve, starting who knows where, making time a HUGE variable with the slightest difference in initial water conductivity...well...using a clock just doesn't work. But once the current control circuits stabilizes the current, ion emission rate is predictably linear using Faraday calculations and a clock. You know how much silver entered the water..but what Faraday doesn't say is how much *stayed* in the water. If there is very little on the bottom, most of it did. But The stronger you make it, the more densely packed uncharged particles are and the more likely they are to encounter each other and agglomerate into larger particles, forming crystals around a seed nucleus and getting big enough to settle out.
