Here is the txt from the Silver Puppy site: *Ode* [ AKA Ken]
Stirrers aren't necessary due to the S.W.A.P output of the Silverpuppy generators preventing conductive ion tracks forming between the electrodes when using the more common DC Current output used by most generators out there. [Including the ~18 year old Series 1 "Pups" with only one or no switches on top ] Do you *NEED* one? No. [I've been running quart sized batches all year without a stirrer and, quite frankly, I can't tell the difference.] So long as most of the water is near the electrodes, natural convection, Bronian Motion, polarity related ion travel direction change, ion velocity and mass will move water molecules around sufficiently and the *S.W.A.P. polarity switching function* will prevent conductive pathways from forming in the water between the electrodes. [No need to disrupt something that no longer happens]*If *using the old DC output generators, [regardless of who makes it ] a stirrer is a HUGE boon for consistant results.
