You have just confirmed what I have said here previously for the submerged
electrode HVAC system.  Small area produces higher current density, and
higher voltage, producing higher ppm.  We use about 1/10" of #14 wire which
is much higher voltage and current density than what you have tried though.
Give it another try with about 1/10 of the electrode exposed in the water.
