Bruce says the cones are normal, and indicate adequately pure water. You will get small cones at the start if the water is more conductive. I set my arc-bars very close to the water to prevent long arcs which may fry the transformer. I have been thinking lately that I may be setting too small a gap; the sputtering may contribute to production increase.
The cones diminish as conductivity increases with more silver in the water. Check the manual. Big caution about arcs over about 1/8 inch, or something like that. My standard placement of arc bars above water is about 1/16 or less. Cones run about 1/2 to 3/8 to start. Bruce says arcing near the end of a run is normal, but since I do not monitor my batches, I just want to make sure I don't fry the tran.

You run your system with cones? I have a HVAC system. I do not allow it to cone. I add 2 ounces of 10ppm starter per gallon and do not let it get close enough to cone... rather i keep the electrode about 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the water. this keeps a small arc present. a cone reaches above the water surface and prevents the arc. am i misunderstanding what you are speaking of? or are you referring only to starting the process in regards to the various heights of your electrode placement depending upon the water used? j...@writeme.com -----Original Message----- From: Charles King <ck...@global2000.net> To: silver-list@eskimo.com <silver-list@eskimo.com> Date: Thursday, September 16, 1999 8:59 PM Subject: Re: CS>High Concentration HVAC CS--additional comments >On Thu, 16 Sep 1999 21:08:01 EDT, roesil...@aol.com wrote: > >>There is >>only one brand that consistently allows me to pull cones about 3/8" to 1/2" >>from the surface.
