Ivan I use controlled current at .7 to .8 milliamps, voltage at 25.6 to start ,dropping to 6 volts as conductivity increases. The higher current setting tends to make for a higher risk of larger particles, especially if the water is cool but it 'usually' works fine if the temperature is kept around 80 to 100 degrees F. Temperature over 120 deg tends to yield larger [yellow] particles especially afterwards when the CS cools. The TE is initially quite faint but gets brighter with time in storage and PPM meter readings drop accordingly. That voltage is not great enough to overcome resistance in very pure water at first, so, current is lower than the control allows. Several different things tend to happen under those conditions that seem to carry through to the end as if a pattern is being set up...mostly deposit formations. Thermal 'stirring' with a slow rate of production or mechanical stirring with a higher current setting produces a clear CS of up to 22 PPM...with a few exceptions, cause unknown. I've had 2 [out of 10] batches of 17+ PPM /mechanically stirred in luke warm water and made at 2 milliamps turn pale violet within a month under cool storage without ever being yellowish. [fall/winter room temeratures] Are you using controlled current? Ken
