which way is the polarity?
Just got a rusty sidemount bracket and I'm de-rusting it through electrolysis and I can never remember what direction of flow. I've got it hooked up now with Pos. on the work and Neg. on a steel electrode. It seems to be working but it seems backward. I suffer from C.R.S. (Can't remember Snot!)
Oh and BTW. I cleaned out my tank (30gal.) and replaced the water. I shook some of the washing soda in, but then I added a couple of teaspoons of table salt to it as well. It seems more active than I remember it being. Terry |

Re: which way is the polarity?
Attach battery charger - place NEGATIVE LEAD (this is critical!!) on the piece that is to be cleaned. Attach POSITIVE, or RED lead of charger, to electrode "grid" formed when you placed electrodes, or rods, into bucket and tied them all together.
