sol,
My dw runs about 1.2uS. I was shocked that it reads that high, but
it is the only dw that comes in the kind of PET containers that
don't leach chemicals into the cs. I believe the plasticizers in
HDPE not only give the cs a bad taste, but they also mess with the
electrolysis process and generate other products. These may
contribute to the large drop in uS I saw before changing over to
PET.
Here is a short list of readings I have been getting recently. Note
the 10% drop in the first 24 hrs, then absolutely rock solid
readings since then. (The readings are in reverse date order.)

This tells me a lot about the cs process, and that it is possible to
make stable cs. Horay!
This was the first run on a brand new cs generator, so don't let the
low uS readings bother you. I melted my previous one in a stupid
experiment, and haven't been able to find a replacement jar. The
readings will go higher, up to about 22uS or so, when I have more
time to play with the electrodes. I can go beyond this, but it
wastes a lot of silver. I have a new way of making cs that will
solve that problem.
Regarding your clear cs, I have developed a new way of monitoring
the process to find the peak concentration of the brew. To do this,
I measure all the cell parameters and calculate the conductance
curve.
The curve goes through different phases depending on where the ions
are in solution at the moment. But you can see everything, including
the start of AgOH production in the Nernst Diffusion layer. This
also corresponds with increasing Tyndall.
Soon after this point, the conductance reaches a peak, then starts
falling as more ions reach the Nernst layer and start combining to
form AgOH. If you continue the brew past this point, the silver
hydroxide will agglomerate and start turning the solution yellow.
I plan to spend some time and document this on my web site so you
can see the curves. Right now, I am working on my machine to kill
spores.
All the Best,
Mike M.
