Cheapest and easiest alloy to get is serling, which is 93% silver and 7% copper. The ratio is wrong, BUT, copper makes nasty stains in the pool, which silver apparently does not. So we are trying the sterling, and just going to use a higher ppb to compensate. We are putting the anode into the drain strainer, which has a high rate of flow into the pipe that goes to the pump. Cathode can be connected to any metal in contact with the water, even ground in most cases. Marshall -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
