Hi Steve, what difference does the distance the rods are apart make? How
does this affect the time it takes to make the CS?
There are at least two effects. First if the rods are too close
together, then the ions simply move from one rod to the other, so some
distance is required for them to get lost in the water between the
rods. Second, if you are using constant voltage, doubling the distance
between the rods will approximately half the current, and double the
time to get to a certain concentration. If you are using constant
current, and have sufficient voltage available, there is no effect on
the current.

Carrole,
Simple answer, if one of your rods turns black, you are making
colloidal silver. How much and how fast is something else. The black is silver
oxide
forming on the negative electrode. The faster the black forms the faster
you are generating colloidal silver. If one rod does not turn black, you are
not creating colloidal silver or you are doing so at a very slow rate. A
number of factors affect the rate at which you generate colloidal silver. The
primary ones are the voltage across the rods, the spacing between the rods and
the amount of colloidal silver (or impurities) in the water.
