Jim; I have investigated switching times of 10, 20, 40, 60, and 90 seconds. As the switch time decreases the brew time increases. My compromise was one minute switching. There will aways be a gray deposite on both electrodes but you will not get treeing as with no polatiry change. Also the longer the switch time the more sludge you will get but at one minute with DW that will produce an initial current of less that .35 ma at start up you should have almost no sludge. I have made three consecutive two hour runs with out wiping the electrodes with my one minute switch time.
I have found that the best water produces the lowest initial. I buy Hincklet & Schmitt DW, and get about .27 ma at start up with my system. Nominal voltage of 35 vdc, but there is a 3 volt drop in the switching IC and there is a 1 k ohm sereis resistor for reading the voltage across it which translastes directly into the cell current . So the actual voltage on the electrode varies from 32 at start-up to about 27 - 28 at the end of the run. The current will stay almost the same regardless, fir the switching times listed.
