Hi Sandy,
[ this should have gone to the silver list the first time. - tm ]
Re Yellow CS
There are a few things that can go wrong.
* The water may be contaminated by something that causes yellowing. Soap or
detergent
is the usual culprit.
* Some plasticisers and all soaps will do that. One then needs an enormous
amount of
rinsing to dilute the surfactants.
* Scrubbing, wiping or cleaning the rods will do that. The swab or scrubber
will probably
be contaminated from manufacture. Just rinse very well.
* Contact with Any wiper, cloth, scrubber-pad or paper will probably
contaminate.
* High current will make yellow.
* Jim Meissners simple design will make yellow, because by design it will
start off very
sedately, with very low current to the electrodes but will to "run away"
after a while and
result in relatively high current, which in turn results in large particle
size and
agglomeration, which give the appearance of yellow.
* I trust that you are not intentionally adding anything to the good quality
distilled water
before making CS
Sandy, I would trust the SilverGen to produce very good CS (EIS) if you have
used it
according to instructions.
OK,
Tony
