Shep, Colloidal silver, as we make it, is an electrolysis process whereby silver is released from the positive electrode and travels into the water because of the electrical potential (voltage) which is applied to the two electrodes. The positive electrode should be pure silver thru and thru; solid - not silver plated. The negative electrode does not give off metal so it can be non-silver. In this case, the negative electrode will eventually become plated with silver and it would be desirable to wipe it clean from deposits, but not to remove the silver plating on the base metal. If your device uses polarity switching, or if you don't understand what was just said above, you need to use silver for both electrodes. (Solid silver, not plated.)

Do the wires have to be replaced every so often, or are they solid and will last until very thin? Shep Use a little scrubby pad and just rub the black stuff off. Simple.

How is this cleaned off and how often should they be cleaned . I wiped them once with a paper towel but was unsure if these electrodes were plated or solid, and maybe I would wipe off the silver , too? Shep
