Do you recall anything about how it was made? Can you make it again? Do you think there may be something else in the cs that could be throwing the Hanna off? Is there a possibility something was in the dw that didn't show up during the brew, but increased the conductivity and makes the Hanna read high? Finally, isn't there a circuit that measures the voltage across the cell and shuts the generator off when it reaches the desired conductivity? If so, how did the 45 ppm cs make it past the shutoff setting? Any info you can give would be much appreciated! On the floaters - I get them all the time, but they don't disappear when I pour the cs into another container. They often break through the surface tension and sink to the bottom. If I add H2O2, they give off bubbles slowly for days or weeks. If I add some more H2O2 after they stop, they start again. There may be bubbles that seem to form from nothing on the side or bottom. This tells me the reaction of H2O2 on pure silver is very slow, unlike the reaction with silver oxide, which fizzes and bubbles.
