I guess you have read my reply by now, Roger, did it suffice? Electrical neutrality simply refers to the fact that for every electron absorbed by the anode there must be one supplied by the cathode in order to complete a circuit.

The preceding passage referred to the CRC manual, and stated that the 66mg/L concentration of silver ions achieved in solution by the silver oxide coating is 50 to 100 times that released by bulk silver metal into solution as stated in the manual. I have not looked up the reference myself as yet.
