Using warm water [under 120 deg F] and making a small batch [8 oz]... will speed it up at first and as the water cools, it will circulate, then with the cooled water being less conductive, will help prevent "runaway"..as will keeping the electrodes as far apart as possible, especially towards the end.
Larger batches cool off much faster than the time it takes to "cook", lessening thermal convection stirring when it's needed the most towards the end of the run.
If you place an incandescent desk lamp very close to one side [for the little bit of heat differential]...that will stir the water the whole time..or paint one side of the container black and run it in the sun.

Hi all. Just about to make my first batch however I would like input as to how to do this properly. The instructions from the company says to make the water hot to boiling point. But this is to make yellow silver. I dont want to make yellow product. So... Im thinking: do I need to heat the water or should I just plug it in and let it go and see how long it takes at room temp.? Also, how far apart should I put the probes? I have it in a 750ml jar. (Which is 5 cups of water.) I dont have a silver puppy or something to stir it as it cooks. I wish I did but I spent tons on everything I have so far and cant just go out and buy another one at this time. Beth -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
