Jean, Please read below.Silver wires do not deteriorate when left in distilled 
water. They last for years in water.

Hi Jean,
Most 12 gage wires, approximately 5 inches immersed in distilled
water, last for 1 to 2 years or more. So, a foot of .999 silver is good for a 
couple
of years when brewing 3 to 4 times a week. When not brewing, I still
leave the silver  in the water. Over brewing will just waste  silver as the 
particles will become so numerous as to start clumping together
and dropping out to the bottom of the vessel. My observations after 4 years of
brewing CS. I hope I understood your question and answered it correctly.
Stay well,
Tom Bassett

  Hi CS'ers,
  I have bought CS over the internet before and have just decided to pick up my 
own generator but as I am new to this I have some questions.  How long do the 
silver wires last? and if I leave them in the water longer than prescribed will 
I get more potent CS or will that be detrimental to the process?

  Thank you all,
  Jean
