If you are using a PPM meter, they typically read about half of
what PWT does.
Fresh home made CS will read higher than after a few days or hours
because some of the ionic portion [in solution..is conductive] converts to
a colloid [in suspension..is not conductive] which no meter will read at
all. All the meters work by measuring conductivity.
So they say 20 PPM
If you read it with a PPM meter, it would read about 10 PPM
A 6 PPM drop with time is about normal. [3 PPM by the PPM meter]
They probably didn't lie to ya.

Maybe I should do some more research before proceeding. I do have another
question though.
I bought 3 bottles of CS from Utopia Silver, then decided to make my own
so I bought some silver rods and a CS tester that was supposed to measure
the PPM. The first thing that I did when the tester arrived was to
measure the PPM of the Utopia CS and it showed 7PPM, their site said it
was 20 PPM. I wrote to them and their response was that home made CS was
more ionic and the tester was callibrated for home made silver not
commercial made. What does this mean and does it sound like they are
simply selling 7 PPM and representing it to be 20 PPM?
Thanks again,
Jim

A flyback will not work properly. The voltage needed is proportional to
the frequency, and a
flyback operates at around 16 KHZ. You can use about one cycle per
minute for 30 Volts, and
60 at 10 KV. For 15 KHZ it would likely take millions of
volts. Remember you have to suck
the ions far enough away from the electrode for a signinficant number of
them to not be
sucked back during the reverse half cycle for it to work properly.

We have an electronics store locally that has lots of used transformers
neon sign, or possibly a fly back transformer. I've got plenty of time,
and like to experiment, I'll go see what I can get.

Pretty easy to do with a 15KV neon sign transformer.

Sounds like an interesting project to build a 10,000 V AC generator. I
might give it a try.
Thanks Marshall

I should have said gold, I've made it fast and the color is gold, if I
make it extremely slow, the color is clearer. I've tried 15 V ac with
no results, I use a 17 V DC power supply and use resistance to limit the
current to slow the process down.
I used 30 VAC one time for over a week and got nothing. Unless you
have enough voltage
to pull the ions fairly far from the anode during a half cycle, they
get sucked right
back to it when it is the cathode and redeposited. Typically when
using AC, one uses
about 10,000 volts.
