I haven't ever seen any buildup on the electrodes at ANY water velocity. It's
because the generator reverses the polarity to the electrodes continually which
pushes the accumulated silver off the cathode each cycle. Basically self
cleaning. I can set the pump volume with a control on the front of the pump.
As long as there's enough water flow through the electrode assembly it seems to
make no difference how fast the water moves. I like to see the surface roiling
as that indicates to me there's enough velocity for sure.
The silver falls to the bottom of the vessel and when the CS is drained through
the spigot, the silver stays in the bottom and the clear CS pours out.

I've found the the water circulation speed doesn't have an effect on the CS
quality but it does have an effect on deposit buildups on the electrodes [the
grey fuzzies] which in turn have an effect on auto off calibration because the
deposits are semi insulative.
They tend to grow into the direction of the water flow and fall off if they
get too thick making a layer of crud in the bottom.
There is a sweet spot under which these effects are not a problem.
I'm assuming that the SG7 has found and is using that perfect water velocity
range commensurate with the electrode spacing and current to prevent crud
buildup and drop off.

Can I jump in here? We use 7/16 to 1/2 inch spacing on our SG7 Pro. With
the electrodes that close together the current gradient between plates is
pretty strong right at startup and we reach current limiting very quickly.
However the water has to be moving fairly rapidly or the unit will shut down
because it senses voltage drop across the electrodes to control the shutoff
point. We use a submergible fountain pump to keep the water moving vigorously.
The idea that it takes very slow water movement to produce good CS doesn't have
any effect on our generator. It produces particle size in the general range of
.001 to .005 microns.
So, I think closer is better if you can keep the water moving. Why have to
wait to get up to speed?
My 2 cents.

Hi Ole Bob,
Wouldn't spacing the electrodes farther apart be a "good thing" if you
were producing a couple of gallons at a time and your power supply was set up
to compensate for it? It seems to me that it might speed things up a little.
Does a slow start (low voltage) or a fast start (higher voltage) make a
difference if the final current is limited?

Hi Andy,
The current drops down and it takes longer to get to the current
limiting level.
