i made 6 colliodal silver generators,  and they all have different voltage 
outputs , and  one of then has 1 milliamps output. they all have the constant 
current circuit to keep the current constant , the silver electrodes nearly 18 
cm long are spaced 4cm apart or mm  cant remeber. but the jars i use have 
plastic lids and i have them through that , i have no timer or any other 
circuit to turn them off after a certain time as it aint nessisary and even 
with the ppm meter , i allso use a digital multimeter and at certain ppm levels 
by the meter i allso measure the voltage levels to and without the ppm meter i 
can tell the ppm level by the final voltage output for that ppm level i brew 
for ,  i even have a 1.14 milliamps output cs generator to so the brewing time 
seems to be less, so i wont be waiting to long for it . and with all the notes 
ive taken  with the size jar i use and the electrode length and spaceing and 
electrode submersion for a 500 mills amount of water to refill a 500 mills 
bottle , i can just monitor the voltage drops from the constant current circuit 
and when it tellys with the ppm ive had with the other brews which ive checked 
with the ppm meter , i then check it again and find they match . so if ya do ya 
brewing right and tests and home work and calculations then you can use the 
digital multimeter to determine ya ppm levels , by its voltage conductivity 
levels .
