There are reactions with electro-chemical byproducts that take a few
days to complete after power is removed.
You will note that conductivity drops by as much as 40% over a couple of days.
That's why re-re-running a batch can make a meter reading go as high as 20
uS where the gen shuts down ...and stays there...that % of the total gets
smaller each time till the gen just won't run.
PPM meters [ measuring conductivity ] are only an approximation, easily
fooled...not perfect.....but they don't cost several thousand dollars and
aren't as big as a desk.
Dissolved stuff never settles but undergoes 'Stabilization' and the product
of stablization is whatever particulate that won't stay dissolved and goes
into suspension.
Only suspended solid stuff can settle and if it does, it's larger than the
size that defines "colloidal"
The closer it is to that definition, the longer it takes to settle.
That which meets the definition of colloidal never settles, but stays
suspended.
BTW The generator doesn't make particles AT ALL... [none do] .it makes
ONLY silver ions and hydroxl anions. [ Ag+ and OH- ] and some hydrogen and
oxygen gas.
Particles come later AFTER the gen does what it does...muchly while it's
doing its thing, but still after.
Think about a car.
Exhaust is a byproduct of combustion that's made just after the act of
combustion, as a 'result of'....and it's not the engine that's doing the
combusting...it's the fuel/air mix.
When the byproducts meet the environment, all sorts of possibilities
arise...like contrails if it's a cool damp day...or smog if ozone levels
are high.

Just curious, isn't colloidal silver a colloid once it is made? Why does
it take 2 days settling? BTW, it was probably 4-5 hours after the Silver
Puppy shut down when I added the H2O2.
Often it will turn cloudy if you add it immediately after brewing. Most
people wait about 2 days after brewing before adding H2O2.
