I own a Phaser Pro System from CS PRO Systems. The Phaser Pro costs around $350 and it is a mid-range generator, compared to the high-end CS PRO Ultra. Like the Ultra, the Phaser Pro produces a very stable CS with virtually no sludge or sediment. The capacity of this unit is not adequate for commercial use but its ideal for a plentiful home supply. The Phaser uses AC but not high voltage AC, to my knowledge. The unit has a very well-designed electrode assembly that accepts three short lengths of 12 gauge silver wire into stable sockets mounted in the batch tank lid. There are no problems with loose wires or electrode spacing, etc. The trodes are immersed several inches in the batch water and there are no issues with heating, arcs or evaporation. Three different PPM settings are provided and the controls are very easy to use. The documentation is good and CS PRO has developed a new water calibration procedure that uses a very small amount of pure baking soda and a supplied TDS meter. This allows the use of steam distilled water (or similar) with a TDS as low as 0 PPM. In general the CS PRO Phaser is painless to use and very efficient with time and silver (approx 20 min/batch). I generally set it up once a week and run it until I fill up a gallon plastic jug. The CS stays nearly clear with strong Tyndall for an apparently indefinite period. CS PRO Systems may seem expensive compared to batteries and alligator clips, but due to my past experiences purchasing custom and limited-production electronic devices in other industries (television production, music recording, etc.) I actually feel that CS PRO prices are extremely reasonable if you are looking for a turn-key solution. If, on the other hand, you enjoy hacking around with electrics, then by all means do it yourself. There's definitely a place for both manufactured and home-made approaches and everything in between (eg, well made, constant-current DC units for less than $100). I also own a DC CS unit and I'm not claiming that DC is always inferior to AC. The thing I like about CS PRO is that they have optimized their units for small particle size, high bio-availability and a very controlled generation process. This is something I had trouble achieving with low cost components. Steve King -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
