Hi Thomas, Welcome to the list! If you are running the fairly high current densities that are used in conventional cs generators, you can swap the polarity for each new batch. This will equalize the wear on the electrodes and give the longest life. If you are running at lower current that does not produce silver hydroxide, and you have u-shaped electrodes at least 3/4 inch across the bottom, you can wait until tiny whiskers grow on the cathode electrode and reach a length of about 1/8 inch. Then swap the polarity and continue brewing until the whiskers disappear from the first electrode and start to appear on the opposite electrode. When they again reach about 1/8 inch, terminate the brew and pour the cs into your storage jar. I prefer the PETE bottles used in the Dasani and Aquifina deionized/demineralized water. These have the least amount of leaching from the plastic. Following this procedure will give a much higher silver ion concentration since the process does not make silver hydroxide, which forces you to terminate the brew early. You can continue brewing for a much longer time and gain the benefit of a much more potent brew. For example, the SilverCell process will easily reach 35uS to 37uS, and may decrease to 31uS to 32uS after the brew has been placed in storage. A conventional brew will be very hard to reach 18uS or higher, and most likely will be around 10uS to 12uS. I just posted some pictures of the whiskers so you can see what they look like. They are in a post on my forum where I discuss these issues with a Russian member who is also making his first generator. The pictures appear in http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/silvercentral/message/586?l=1 If you have any questions please post.
