Hi Beth, Yes, That is one way of looking at it. Uncontrolled, the voltage across the electrodes stays constant, and the current increases with time because the resistance of the water plus silver decreases (conductivity increases.)
One way is to insert a constant current module so that current is limited. A 'good number' to use is 1mA per square inch (max) of wetted anode area.
