Andy (^_^) Said: "Silver reflects the visible spectrum of light according to the particle size.
Clear would indicate a particle size to small for refraction. Yellow would indicate a slightly larger particle size. Amber or red (honey colored) would indicate a still larger particle size that can barley stay in suspension. Blue would indicate particles that are no longer in suspension. This would explain the condition of Argyria where people that are exposed to large amounts of silver turn blue or grayish. (The Blue Bloods of England) Any thoughts on this?"............................................. Fred replies: You got it Andy! There is a good book on the subject but I can not find the name right now! The point is, color is not good! Us mere humans can not see ions, so even seeing the "cloud" off of the positive electrode is bad news - larger particles are starting to form! Limiting current and circulating the fluid will be slower but a superior product. I made gallon of vivid purple product once, as a test, by letting our unit operate without any current limiting and running for 24 hours! (That was with 0.1PPM deionized water so there was only silver!) The TDS was 38PPM and slowly dropped over a month, as the larger particles settled out, although a purple cast still remained!
