Hi Coyote and all; It certainly is strange but running constant voltage 27 to 36 volts with constant rapid motorized stirring I never make anything but crystal clear CS., at any ppm you want. The highest I have gone so far is 43 ppm.. I can even get that using demineralized drinking water.
Where the value of good distilled water is that the T.E. must be seen in a very dark room, and then it is a very weak beam. As a retired manufacturing engineer from the electron tube and semi con. industry I never argue with what works. I have even made clear CS running at 380 v DC. Two years ago when just starting I use a monogrammed glass twice and had one h-ll of a time clening it up. so I switched to the clear hard plastic for evenything and no more plating problems. As for water temperature, my lab is 68 deg. F. and so is everythnig in it. I have offered before the "Wplot" program, shareware, and plots of what my process will produce. It still available off list. "Ole Bob" -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
