I bought a protium system, couple of months ago, and finally got the chance to put it in my truck.

They still haven't sent me the power conditioner, but I went ahead and got the thing running.
In the instruction they say that the system will mud up when the system starts drawing close to 30 amps. Right now the system is only drawing 2.8, but thats up from yesterday.
So my question is about how long does it take for plates to condition? I realize that different setups have different results, but I am just looking for some averages or insight into what I should be looking for.
I have wrote them but apperantly they are real busy or somthing and they tend not to write back in a timely manner.
Thanks

If your electrodes are made of 304 or less stainless steel, iron will leach out and turn the water brown. 316L Stainless Steel is probably the best you can get, but the price is kinda high, and will leach also but, much less. The muddy condition will persist for several days of running, maybe longer but you get the idea. Change the solution when the brown gunk muddies the water. That will be changed 4-5 times, maybe more. I would suggest using distilled water as it has no impurities which will help prevent the brown guck. I hope you are using KOH or NaOH, and not baking soda as that will release toxic gas. Your manufacturer may recommend something else than what I recommend.
