If
 Your water is exactly the same as Marshalees [same starting conductivity]
Your electrodes are the same size and are spaced the same distance
You are using the same voltage
and your room and water temperature are the same
..then you might be close to Marshalees results.

If you are using 3 nines and no other controls, the process works much like the acceleration of something falling off a building. The two buildings will have to be the same height , in the same air density and temperature for the object to reach the same velocity on impact. A small difference in beginning conductivity of the water can amount to a hundred story difference in the tallness of the building. Temperature changes the conductivity of water by several points. Minor changes in electrode spacing has a great effect as well.

Hook up a digital ammeter in series wiith one of your electrodes and try a few batches. Move things around a little. You'll see the differences as compared to time with different combinations of the elements involved.
 Plot the curve every few minutes and you'll see the acceleration in action.
 Change one thing and everything else changes too.

Well I am guessing it's an approximant of 18 ppm since that is what
Marshalee was saying in the previous message. I really have no way to
test for sure, my only means of getting anywhere close to knowing is
relying on the experiences of the others on this list. Maybe I should
have said glad to have some idea of the ppm?
