As I am using my home made mag stirrer {which appears to work fine as there is
no fallout, and nothing floating on the surface observable with my naked eye} I
am unable to slow it down enough for me to experiment on really slow revs.
Can I assume then that those Silver Hydroxide 'chunks?' are of suitable size so
as to result in fallout? Could I also assume that smaller 'chunks?' may get
trapped around bubbles and get carried up to the surface resulting in that
surface 'film' people speak about?

I personally don't subscribe to the reverse polarity business. It's
fine for those who prefer to set and forget, but every time that polarity
is automatically reversed, whatever hydroxides blah blah that appears on
the electrode will be removed {blown off} from that electrode - and where
does that stuff end up? it remains in the water, in whatever form,
and probly ends up laying on the surface of the water or on the bottom of
the storage vessel which means one will have to either decant or filter
it out. If I'm wrong here, then I am sure someone will state as
much quick enough, but then that's why we are here is it not - opinion
exchange.
## I used to think that, and if the current is high, [or stir speed
too fast] it likely does get blown off.
After slowing his stir speed down to 30 RPM, Fred Sprague [Smart
Silver / Custom electronics LLC, a polarity reversing controlled current
gen] solved a problem that had mystified him for 7 years....mega
sparklies. [Silver Hydroxide chunks in the water]
However, after much experimentation it would seem that the byproducts are
re converted back into their respective former components for the most
part...saving you a lot of silver and reducing bottom sludge and cleaner
electrodes too.
