Angel, I don't think you really understand the issues involved in making colloidal silver and you are making assumptions based on this misunderstanding.
Terry makes some good points, although I don't agree 100% with everything he said. If you are "dissolving" your silver electrodes, then you are performing the electrolysis process that makes colloidal silver. And, since you seem to have visible reduction in the size of your electrodes it seems that you are putting a lot of silver into the water. If this results in 3 to 4 ppm CS I would be very surprised. The SilverPuppy has an auto-shutoff feature which is calibrated to shut off, not at a particular current, but at a certain voltage appearing across the cell which has been selected based on the electrode size and geometry and which correlates to the conductance of the cell. What this means is that as the electrolysis (making CS) process continues the water has more silver ions in it and it conducts electricity more easily. Knowing the fixed conditions of the SilverPuppy electrode configuration it can be set to shut down when there are a certain ppm of ions in the cell (has a certain resistance, or inversely, conductance). The shutdown is exact every time but because of the nature of CS making and all the variables of water and contamination the ppm may not be exact, but it should be close. You should make a similar product every time if you use good distilled water and do not contaminate the electrodes or jar with anything, by handling or by cleaning processes; dirt, hand acids and oils, soaps, hydrogen peroxide, etc. If the SilverPuppy auto-shutoff is turning off too soon, you still have the option of running it manually without the shutoff by switching the toggle switch (away from the red dot, I think). This way you can run forever, but really, you will never get above a certain percentage of CS ions in the water and you will end up wasting your silver electrodes. Water quality is important! You should be using water distilled by a steam process. And, not all distilled water is equal. Use the best water you can find, it will limit the quality of your CS, although almost all CS is usable and better than nothing, but we shoot for the best, right? Do not add anything to the CS as a starter, like salt, baking soda, honey, etc... If you have good CS, you can add some of that as a starter to speed up the process, but be careful of adding questionable CS to the cell as a starter. Your method of testing for the ppm of the CS may be incorrect. Your instrument may be inappropriate. Your instrument may not be calibrated correctly or just plain not working correctly. You may not understand the issues surrounding testing, which are complex. You may be adjusting your reading by the wrong factor. You are not working with Ken aka Ode Coyote who would go the extra mile with you to solve your problem and help you understand how to make CS. Instead you slander the SilverPuppy, which I don't think deserves this treatment. It is a sweat little device, a good value, convenient, it is what it is...
