i got this bin specifically because it fit nice for pans, but also because i do need a trashcan in my basement. We will see if down the road im running enough through this thing to make it worth it. i don't know if i care that much or not about having to turn it. I do have another sheet of metal and could separate them as you mention, i would just need to split my red lead i guess. it was pegged at max 6 for a while then 30 minutes later it was down to 5, and i think after a cleaning then, and another hour and half it was down to 2 or 3. it seemed like it didn't take long for the amps to drop down. not sure if that is required to do or not with any frequency. The anode would get a strange greenish foamy stuff stuck to it which i was able to just use a putty knife to scrape off. It seems to be working for sure, the foam showed up and it looked pretty gross. there is only 5 or 6 inches at the top and it gets narrower as it goes down. Yea, i get the foam, and my piece is pretty close to the anode. but they are mostly clean when I stick them in there. since I clean my items first with lye the electrolysis is really just to finish them up and I have two graphite sheets in the tank so I'm doing front and back at the same time and I usually only leave skillets in the e-tank for 30 minutes to an hour tops. connections and heat are a big thing to watch. depending on your amps and connections things will heat up and may trip your charger off. however given that you're working with electricity and water I would only have it running while you're around to check on it.
don't think you can leave an item in too long. also there is probably a layer of gunk on the bottom of the tank. it's black but works the same as it did the first time. have had to add some due to evaporation, but have not changed it. I've done 40-50 items in the same water. much better option if you are going to be doing this very often. seems to last a really long time too based on my usage so far. same basic concept except gunk doesn't stick to it. I quickly sourced some graphite sheet on ebay. the more covered up it is the less effective it seems to work. it was shiny when I started and before I even finished one pan I found myself pulling it out and scraping stuff off with a paint scraper. I used a new sheet of thin steel for the first few times and you will be amazed at how quickly it becomes covered with a thick layer of 'ugh'.
