level is visible; would this be useful to you in deciding how much
distilled water to use? I see the description says the very interesting
rounded shape means you lose less silver from the rods, which would be
great, and also that there is no need for a stirrer. So the water in
your jar would not be bubbling and leaping above the water level - so
why not take it up as high as you can so you make any wear to the silver
rods even more even?
I don't have a Silver Puppy, mine is more primitive, and I have just
been given a second one, old but unused, with another four silver rods,
so I'm well supplied.
My rods are just the plain square stick kind; I am using a pair with
less 'wear' than my original rods, but the first set would also be quite
usable and maybe I should go back to them to use them up in
chronological order. If I had continued making CS after I ran out of my
original big bottle of DW using the first pair of rods, I imagine they
would have worn away to little stumps like those I saw when I picked up
my generator years ago in South Perth. A lady had been using her
generator so long the rods weren't really usable any more, and she had
come to pick up some new rods.
A couple I had been making CS for bought me a pair of new rods and also
an aquarium bubbler, so I still use that to mix the water and stop
silver 'icicles' forming. You likely would not have that worry. The
bubbles burst and send water upwards on to the underside of the metal
lid, so I don't have the water level quite as high as I likely could; I
am wondering whether to stop using the bubbler, as the noise seems to
reverberate through the house from the workbench.
So my reply would be to fill the jar as high as you can without losing
any over the edge.
I am now able to get DW in much smaller and more manageable bottles
("Refresh" brand, Perth, Western Australia) so the problem of managing
the huge drinking fountain bottles no longer exists. Also, I don't have
to make the long trip to the HFS to buy it and return the empty bottle,
but pick it up at my local grocery store. So I am in production again.
If you have the water level low, the silver above the level won't get
worn away, so you would be wasting that much silver. You want the silver
in the water, not staying pristine above the water level.
All the best with your endeavours. Even if you are still uncertain, make
it anyway, high level or low. But you will make it at the highest level
you can, I'm sure.
By the way, this couple had been told the yellow product was the best,
so they asked me to make it so it was yellow. To do that I had to run it
for many hours. I told them it wasn't necessary, but it was a long time
before they heard a different story and said they would like it clear,
after all.
