Water current to o lo w
If the water current is too low, electrochemical attacks at the anode can occur.
The easiest way to reduce the water resistance is to add a small amount of tap water or min-
eral water to the cooling water. Alternatively, a small quantity of copper salt (sulfate, nitrate)
can provide the necessary conductivity.
Water current to o high
The power delivered by the source is given by the anode current and anode voltage. However,
the power supply is limited by the amount of emission current it can deliver. If too much current
is being lost as water current, the power output from the source drops.
In order to reduce the water current, you should add deionized or distilled water. If you are
using tap water and the water current is too high, you need to change the water supply—a
closed circuit system offers the best solution in this case.
High water current can also be caused by contaminants in the cooling water. In this case, per-
form some cleaning cycles with tap water to wash the cooler and the water lines, then refill the
cooler with deionized or distilled water.
