If you pinch the little spring hooks which support the arc bars [short length of about 16 gauge Ag wire with a loop in one end and the remainder gently twisted one around another] closed just enough to slip the wire loop over, there are fewer-to-no dropped arc bars. Not a big deal anyway, I get mine out with a bit of SS wire formed into a hook. It takes about 10 seconds. If you are minimally careful there is no need to jiggle them off anyway...
Any system will be affected by salts from skin. Wash well before handling the electrodes in any system; or use rubber gloves. Poor documentation? Could you be more specific?

Salts off skin will raise conductivity of water and ruin whole batch. Another problem, the unit in the generation process tends to heat the water, causing evaporation, lowering the water level causing gap between silver and water to be more than advised and causing overheating and voiding warranty. They ended up dunking silver deep in water because the prescribed 3/16th gap to hard to get correct. Wrap up: Advantages .Uses less silver, highly effecient .Does not oxidize the silver, results in cleaner final porduct .Creates colloidal silver with a long shelf life .Has built in timer .Rugged construction, no moving parts except the fan Disadvantages .Very expensive (900.00 ) .10,000 volts can be dangerous if you are not careful .Poor documentation .More difficult to set up and operate than DC unit .Will not run off batteries. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
