is this something myself (an electrical illiterate) could do to a prepackaged 
unit (SilverGen SG6)?

Subject: RE: CS>filtering CS vs polarity switching

I got tired of manually cleaning and swapping my CS generator electrodes.
So I converted my homemade generator to electrically swap polarity to the
electrodes about every 15 minutes.  I kept the same run time of 24 hours,
but I had to increase the constant current from about 0.2 ma to 0.3 ma to
end up with the same strength brew.  Now I NEVER need to clean or swap the
electrodes.  And no "stuff" sluffs off into the brew, so there is no need to
filter or carefully decant.

 

I highly recommend automatic polarity switching of current to CS generator
electrodes.

Well, each to their own I spose, but suffice to say I never want to see any
'stuff' build up on my electrodes.  No big deal necessarily I guess, just
something I never want to see on my setup, which is why I clean my trodes at
regular timed intervals, if they need it or not.  I don't have polarity
reversal on my gear, I just swap the trodes over as I clean them.
 
Nothing detrimental either, you can filter it as you say, or leave it behind
in the container.  If you've got another use for that residue that's fine,
but if not, you got residue in the container serving no useful purpose.  I
don't have a use for it personally, and I don't see a need to find a use for
it, so I choose not to create any 'debris'.

Should I be cleaning the trodes during the brewing process?  Besides
knocking the stuff off and creating debris in my CS is there any other
detrimental effects of having that "stuff" build up during a brew?
