Hi Dan, You are absolutely correct. This EIS process is a very inferior silver plating process. The only difference between the two is the compostion of the liquid. In silver plating they use a cynanide solution to make the silver transport to the cathode effective. One can use copper, brass, or steel with aout problems as it will electroplate after several brews. Just wipe the cathode gently and you will see the silver palte gradually increase. This applies ONLY to straight DC , no polarity switching or AC permitted. "Ole Bob"

The metals will come off the positive electrode (anode) which, in this case, is the silver one. The brass is the negative electrode so it is not going to be releasing metal ions or particles into the water. With this DC system we should get the good quality "colloidal silver" that we expect.
