Werry interesting. Could it be that the Cl grabbed the Ag, or that the lower conductivity yields smaller particles? Calculating the Cl available to react, as Frank Key suggested, may give insight. Also, measuring the amps with the two methods may be useful.

I wanted to jump in here briefly and tell you what an engineer friend of mine discovered with CS that was "started" with a very mild saline solution. He fed two similar petri dishes of bacteria CS, one solution of which had been "started" with salt and one without. He discovered that the salt-started CS was highly inferior to killing the critters. The experiment was repeated at least 5 times. Five out of the six times my friend did the experiment, the non-salt CS did a vastly superior job of killing bacteria. However, he DID find that tiny amounts of baking soda "started" the solution without compromising the microbe-killing ability of the CS. I like to make my initial batch of CS by heating the distilled water first. I heat it in the pyrex measuring cup in which it's being made, and place it in a pan of water like a double boiler. I do this to avoid the possibility of metal from a pot leeching into the CS water. Then, with subsequent batches, I use some already made CS to "start" the solution.
