The DW I use is from Food Lion and meters at 1 to 2 PPM. Walgreens doesn't even register. It takes a very long time to build up to 1 or 2 PPM where the generator will start to pull its set controlled current. The 26.8 PPM figure came from Ole Bob himself via his photospectrometer. At the time he said it was total silver, then changed his tune to say his equipment only measures Ionic silver. Maybe it measurs all of the ionic and some of the particulate? I dunno. NCDNR Water Lab in Raleigh says 45.5 PPM total silver content. [Ionic and colloidal particulate] I don't know what method they used to test it but they wanted huge samples. [I have the report] The generator is set to turn off at 15-17 PPM ionic as read by a Hanna PPM meter..which does NOT read particulate. Total silver will vary according to 'in process' agglomeration of ions into particles as the generator circuitry works like the meter and won't detect particulate silver either. Both water temperature and stir rates influence 'in process' particle formation. Probably, temperature differentials influence 'post process' particle formation.
BTW, Jack The gen you sent back is working perfectly. I made a 16 oz batch in 3 hours with cool FL water yesterday. Light TE remains unchanged this morning...shut down at 16PPM ionic and has remained colorless and stable so far. I only had to wipe the rods once. [old used pitted electrodes] I sent you a new transformer for your replacement gen. It checked out at 27vac at no load. I think that'll do her up right.
