I also won't entertain the idea of auto polarity reversal for the same reason Dave stated, but then I'm not a commercial enterprise. If I was selling the stuff, then I would have to consider that option due to production volumes and time. Something must go somewhere off those electrodes and the only place that 'something' can go is back into the water, however, it won't be immediately observable due to that polarity reversal switching back and forth. If they are not removed and cleaned at regular timed intervals to minimise that 'something' being dispersed in the water, then whatever comes off those electrodes will remain circulating in the water and end up at the bottom of the storage vessel after gravity has done its thing. @ Marshall...Do you ever decant or filter...Yes/No?

I have made thousands of gallons of CS, and I reverse every minute, on a two minute cycle. Reversing eliminates the dark oxides because the electrode which forms the oxide is exposed to monoatomic hydrogen during the next half cycle, and the hydrogen immediately reacts with the oxide reducing the silver oxide to silver. Also any silver powder that accumulates on an electrode, either by reduction of silver oxide, or by deposition of silver from the solution, goes back out on the next half cycle as well. The result is electrodes which stay amazingly clean and never need to be cleaned. I can typically make several thousand gallons of CS on a set of electrodes and have never ever had to clean them. Also I have never witnessed any silver oxide coming loose due to polarity switching. If any were to come loose it would be from the stirring of the water, not a polarity switch.

Far better to select one electrode, and make a mark at the top with a pair of pliers, then simply connect it to positive one run , then negative the next, keeping note of dates you use the marked electrode with neg or pos current. The reason for this is that you will accrue a large amount of dark oxides which should not be disturbed during manufacturing. If they get into the sol (colloid) then the ions coming of the electrode will then stick to those chunks and your sol will bottom out much quicker, the particles also being less therapeutically beneficial as they will be getting so large to the point where they will just not be able to pass inside cell tissue and kill pathogens, also creating more possibility of argyria skin discolouration, though that can be lessened or even removed with selenium supplementation to chelate it from the skin I read. The regular changing of polarity will just push a load of muck into the distilled water and act as a magnet for the smaller groups of ions to stick to.

I like the idea of reversing polarity because it will slow down a build_up of CS near one electrode and both electrodes (hopefully) wear evenly. Also I have one of these around and it will save a bit for the time being :-) Are there any "cons (& pros)" to this notion. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.
