Hi Bob/Marshall,
I believe the effect over time is due to the solubility of the sludge
compounds in H2O. The majority of the compounds are water soluble and
must be releasing silver atoms back into the water. I use the ICP
method to test for silver concentrations and have noticed this effect.
The sludge would likely kill organisms in the soil
(silver ions will) and could cause plants to die as they need these
organisms for uptake of nutrients through their roots. I do dry the
sludge and save it, when a large wound or sore occurs I mix it with
olive oil to form a paste and spread it on. It seems to work well, but
it does stain.

Yes I left the sludge in as I did not need the CS at that time
DID it continue to work on its own
I took the electrodes out
I wonder if the sludge would be good for the garden, or
even to use a watering can and put some CS back into the ground.
The generator I have continually reverses the polarity and
there is a build up in bottom of jar

Hi Bob,
Did you leave the electrodes and/or sludge in the container?
