As far as I can tell, the only noticable benefit from polarity switching is that the electrodes wear down evenly. >Settle and decant? What's that about? Before I added the bubbler, there would be a pile of crud under each electrode. That stopped when I added the bubbler, but just in case there is any stuff, I decant. Usually, I just use the little that remains as starter for the next batch, and every few batches I give the "dregs" to the kitties and clean the jar. -- John A.
