I use 2 ma/square inch in the SG7 and as I said earlier, it is ALWAYS clear at 20+ ppm. And it produces 2 gallons/hour at 5 ppm or 1 gallon/hour at 10 ppm, and so on. That's not slow in my book. Stirring has a great deal to do with the end product, both in particle size and the allowable current density. And it never turns color. And to try to make a case about efficacy of ions versus ions isn't valid. It either works or it doesn't. If you made yellow CS it obviously had a lot of large colloids and that would certainly explain why it didn't work as well as that made with more ions. As I pointed out earlier, our colloids range in size from .001 to .005 microns. They never reflect light. Too small. If the ions do the job, as I suspect, then making it more quickly by using large surface area flat electrodes and higher current density with stirring is much better than running at less current in order to prevent agglomeration. That's the only thing I see you've been successful at is..... perfecting a slow process that is about the same as watching paint dry. > However, reducing the current density to 80 to 100 microamps per > square inch produces very strong and very clear cs.

So is that to say the CS I make would not be just as efficatious? I think it would work exactly the same. I can dazzle you with anecdotal recoveries from a myriad of diseases. Let's not get into whether ions or colloids are best. I'll leave that to others. > > I now only need to take a mouthful every three or four days, instead > of drinking 8 oz each day as I did before.

Not necessarily true. This isn't rocket science and if they are a bit closer at one end it doesn't make any difference other than a small change in the shutoff ppms. In the case of our SG7 I form the 1 1/2" wide electrodes in a mold to corrugate them and they are very stiff and rigid. This is not an issue. > > Another problem is simple contamination.

That has nothing to do with making CS. So, you fouled up. That doesn't guarantee others will. > > With 12 ga wire, you can bolt the rods to a plastic lid.

Refill with water and set the unit on top of the jar again. Our SG7 uses 4 electrodes spaced 1/2 inch apart. They're cast into a resin block at the top and are on a strut that lets them dangle in the water. Self cleaning too I might add. Operation is a no brainer. > > Flat is OK. Round is better.
