I use stirring and have very little build-up (my "sludge" appears to be pure silver, not an oxide), but I'd like to make my CS faster without having to heat the water (I decided to stop microwaving the water until I get done with a bean growing test and see if beans grow worse or not when watered with previously microwaved water v/non-microwaved).
How did you arrive at v/f=150 as being optimum, at least for your setup? What qualities of your CS were you testing? What is your preferred voltage, electrode seperation, quantity of water, temperature, current cutoff, submerged electrode surface, whatever you're willing to tell? Above you said ".2 Hz or... 10 seconds or so.". I sometimes get so confused by this when decimals appear, but if .2Hz is a full cycle (360 degrees) then wouldn't there be a full cycle every 5 seconds, hence each electrode would be at one polarity or the other for 2.5 seconds? Or did you mean every ten seconds? Could you please restate this for me:-). Thank You, Ron KC7ZWA -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
