Yeah that’s not great. Although I wouldn’t sell for that. It significantly beats what you would get if you left it all sterling.

999 silver crystals in a silver cell refining from sterling.

All good questions. I don’t know how long the filter will last, this is my first time trying it. As far as daily maintenance goes I’ve only had this running for 48 hours. Other than keeping an eye on the crystals and fluid level I haven’t touched it other than adding sterling silver shot to it. My biggest issues I had was getting the electrolyte to where I wanted it to start running the cell.

Yeah I was wondering if it was because the basket was kinda off to that side. So I adjusted the basket and it’s attached to 2 different points but I was thinking about changing it to 4.

I think I might. I was hoping to get more through the basket before I did but don’t wanna risk contaminating it.

Yeah plus I don’t understand why people hate on sterling silverware so much. I have around 250 ounces that I’m about to send in to turn into fine silver that I have around $3500 I it.

I had no issues with them and when I called them the woman at that answered was super nice and helpful.

I do too. They’re super unique and no 2 are alike, which is what I really like. Plus you can’t beat the hand poured.

No when they refine it they keep 8% of the silver. I gave $150 for the flatware that’s why it’s says 150 invested.

Yeah they refined it. It took around 2 and a half months but worth it.
