Hi Dan, > electrodes about 7 inches wetted shaped into a "U". Maybe this is part of the problem. It's pretty hard to work with the high cell resistance this gives. You end up with long brew times and it's difficult to maintain a reasonably constant current with a low voltage supply. Trying to speed things up just increases the current density and makes oxide that may show up as visible particles if the concentration gets high enough. Oxide won't kill viruses, and I'm not sure what it would do to bacteria. Maybe entertain them for the afternoon. Maybe try putting more silver under water and get more wetted length. I'm using 3.8 square inches - over double what you are using. I'm working on a Godzilla machine. 12 square inches wetted, or as close as I can get. 2 litre capacity. Should be ready later today and ready for testing. I find the cs and H2O2 is the only thing that kills the mold virus, and I need a lot more cs to treat all my clothes. I have had bad luck with stirring. Maybe you might try the H2O2 test I just posted: http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m61621.html If you compare the salt test side by side with the cs + H2O2, it will tell you if there is any oxide in the cs from the stirring. I just ran a sample of dw that did produce oxide. It was clear but had a very weak dispersion. When I added it to a jar of reasonably good cs from a previous sample, everything turned yellow instantly. I think the oxide provided a nucleus for particles to grow, and the high ppm cs just went to town making particles that turned everything yellow. A bit of H2O2 cleared it up again, but it took too much to use the cs internally. Maybe the hard black coat left by the WallMart had something to do with the oxide formation. The dw in the post above seems to be cleaning it off as it should, so I will go back and try the funny dw again to make sure. All kinds of things can go wrong, but Faraday and the salt test are very good ways to diagnose the problems and tell when things are running properly again.
