The most widely used method uses Neon Sign Transformers, 12 or 15 KV, and places the silver electrodes just above the water's surface, so that the voltage pulls the water up and around the elecrode. This results in a crude voltage regulator, since as the voltage decreases, less water will get pulled up around the electrode, increasing the resistance, and vice versa. This regulation is necessary since the bulk conductivity of the water/CS starts off very high, and drops by several orders of magnitude as ions are generated and diffuse into the water. If you just submerge the electodes, then there will be a wide range of current from start to stop, generating a poor quality product.
The method I use, which I have applied for a patent on, submerges the electrodes inside of pyrex or quartz tubes. Only the tip of the electrode is exposed outside the tube under water, and is adjusted to be about .1" long. Then water is cooled to just above freezing and pumped through the electrolysis cell at a constant rate (about 3 gallons per hour per 100 mA). The amount of electode exposed is adjusted real time to maintain a voltage of between 9 and 11 KV at all times. The CS leaves the chamber at about 105 F.
