According to the reports I've seen here (and a bit of my own testing), lower currents do produce smaller particles (silver ions). But small enough particles are produced if you keep the current below 1 or 2 mA. What a starter does is allow an initial current of something like 0.1 mA instead of the 0.001 mA you'd get with pure distilled water. IOW, you're short-cutting the time it takes the generator to produce enough silver ions (the time it takes to go from 0.001 mA to 0.1 mA). -- Dean -- from (almost) Des Moines -- KB0ZDF -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
