If 13 PPM is the max ionic silver content [assuming a relationship between cations and ions..same thing only charge specific, right?] and a PWT uS reading bears a relationship to the quantity and concentraion of those ions...how come I can get as high a stable reading as 78 uS on the PWT when making CS? Is it because there are not enough anions present in the water to 'discharge' the silver cations? [78 uS is as high as I've gone and still produced a colorless CS but there's no reason I can see that I couldn't go higher. TE at that reading is VERY strong indicating a total silver content probably beyond 150 PPM]
