I used 20 ppm approx. for my battle with Lyme. The colloid master Model 777 www.wishgranted.com makes a gallon at a time with a sun tea jar using two maple leaves hung in the water with flat straps so they stay straight with each other,you can decant from the spigot without filtering. No stirring needed as the polarity is reversed every 55 seconds. No hassle to that arrangement. I wouldn't have anything else. Of course I don't get any kicks out of sitting in the middle of my lawn and watching the grass grow either. That is about what you get with the battery arrangements. Dave
