thank you for your reply. I was wondering if I moved the rods closer together (at least for a while) it would maybe make the brewing time shorter but I don't want to jeopardize the integrity of the CS I'm making; which is very good. Dee

The water provides a resistance to the flow of electrical current. Moving the rods closer together reduces the resistance to current flow by reducing the amount of water between the two rods. Other things can reduce the resistance between the rods as well. Some of them are colloidal sivler depositeed in the water, contanminants such as salt and higher water temperature. Current flow can also be increased by increasing the voltage applied to the rods but systems you purchase usually don't give that option. It is the flow of current between the two rods that removes silver from one of the rods and deposits the removed silver in the water. There is a limit to how much you can reduce time by increasing current flow: however. The higher the current the larger the size of the silver coloids deposited in the water and large silver colloids are not desireable. That is why it is generally recommended that the current used be no greater than 20 milliamperes. Most colloidal silver generators are designed to limit the maximum curret to less than 20 ma. Think of water current in a stream. Slow flowing current only picks of small dirt particles. A strong current will also pick up rocks. In colloidal silver you only want the smaller particles and not the rocks. I hope this isn't confusing and answers your question. - Steve
