The water will not go faster than the stirrers RPM no matter how big the spinner is.

You can slow the water velocity down using a high RPM stirrer and small spinner, but everything [tallness, diameter] becomes interdependent and it can get tricky...plus, there is a tendency to create a vortex funnel in the center while velocity stays fairly low at the edges.

Ode, The size of the stirrer in comparison with the surface of the vessel, influences the amount of mass stirred and the turnover. When defining magnetic stirrer's speeds, one should also include the the size of the stirrer. for instance a 1/2 " magnet creates little turnover at 100 rpm. The same rpm with a 2" stirrer may spill the liquid.

Any speed that reduces sparklies and grey beard build up on the pressure side of the water currents on round electrodes, or eddy side where pressure turns a corner on flat ones.

10-40 RPM works well. 100 might.

What is a good RPM rate or range for a CS magnetic stirrer?
