Well the silver puppy guy says that generally 1ppm on a TDS meter = 2ppm silver. I've tested mesosilver and it reads around 10ppm on a TDS meter. He says this is not a good way to measure silver but it is close enough. My main question now is if ions repel, and can only exist as a single size particle, why the fuss and current/ mA . Maybe the dilemma is that the small part that is not ionic will be large particles of silver.
I have some diodes, I just do not remember how they work, or if their are different sizes. Do I need one on the positive and negative side? Does it matter which way they face, can you connect them backwards? I'm fuzzy on my electronics.
