The primary advantage I see off hand is the complete lack of sludge, 100%
of the silver goes into the colloid.
My Opinion:
There is not a "lack of sludge" as the sludge is expelled into the water
in such a minute size that it cannot be seen. Just because you can't see
it, doesn't mean it's not there. And yes, all of the silver goes into
the colloid, positive charged and otherwise.
What is your definition of sludge. 100% of the silver goes into the
colloid. I have never seen sludge. I would expect that if there was any
sludge then it would settle out when left standing for several days. This
does not happen.
Also I see no way sludge could be made using HVAC. Unlike the DC process,
there is no population of monotomic O molecules at the electrode to react
with the silver, and even if it did, then the hydrogen produced on the
other half cycle would strip it off a few milliseconds later leaving a
silver atom.
Any atoms of silver which accumulate on the electrode while it is negative
which might cause silver sludge in a DC process is immediately sent back
into the water as a colloid on the next half cycleas well.
Why do you think that sludge is formed?

The generally accepted word on this list for the dark deposits on the
negative electrode with the
non-reversed LVDC process has been sludge! They are atoms of silver
(reduced ions) and will
grow into loosely bound snow-flake like crystals. I believe James was
referring to those atoms,
(non-charged) which surely are formed and thrown back into the solution
. The fact they do not
settle (anyone have HVAC product a 6 months to year old to check?) would
indicate they are not
joined to others and thus of an atomic size which the water may keep in
suspension. My interest
is if they are as effective internally, as a positively charged ion of
silver, in the chemical sense!
