If it's plasctic, you can dril a series of holes around the rim or notch it in several place to allow water so circulate under it. Plastic floats, so you'll have to weight it down. A stainless steel washer or a few rounds of insulated heavy copper wire works...but seal the ends of the wire with silicone because copper pulls silver out of the water. A big zinc washer "might" work OK. [I haven't tried it] A glass funnel is preferred. Use short lengths of vinyl tubing split lengthwise to make spacers that hold the rim off the bottom.

If water temperature exceeds around 110-120 deg F it tends to 'induce' agglomeration [yellowing] It takes very little heat to get water moving. > >Also, I noticed the CS I made late last week is just now getting a slight >yellowish tint to it.

It might be a touch on the strong side, no stirring may have contributed, too much heat, some trace contaminant...lots of things and combinations of things can kick a batch over to yellow. Pale yellow is still very good stuff and peroxide to clear it up seems to be just the thing. > >I think I like the method I used the best so far, in my opinion.

That would be great. ## Any sort of stirring helps any generator work better. Moving it 'too fast' creates some electrode deposit problems though.
