Hey Chuck, thanks, that's very helpful. Now what do you mean when you say "> > If you place it on the milliamp range, in series with one of your silver > electrodes, you will know the current going through your water. I have the bob beck silver pulser and the electrodes are not detacheable -- does in series mean I would have to put the meter between the electrode and the wire that leads to it? I guess I could dismantle it and figure out how to reattatch. Suggestions? Thanks, Katarina
