This is my understanding of it:
 
Due to like charges repelling, does this not cause those abundant ions to 
travel randomly, and at speed due to that like charge repulsion, throughout the 
solution resulting in a percentage of those ions colliding, which then form 
atomic ion clusters, or particles within a liquid structure?  And those 
collisions continue resulting in a reduction of that high number of positive 
charged ions until a point of solution stability is reached?
 
That's my understanding in simple terms.
