Reliable TDS Meters
« on: May 22, 2018, 06:58:41 pm »
I did a test with a fellow window cleaner yesterday. My meter read 5 and his meter read 2. Both meters are fairly new.  This leads me to have doubt over the reliability of these and where the best place would be to buy a replacement?

I have 3 now all the same make.
All 3 give different readings in calibration fluid and all 3 are about 30 out either way and one is about 40 out.
Only 1 reads consistently 000 after having changed resin so I use that one....it also reads true from the tap.
I tested it in a marine fish shop  that produces and sells "pure water".......they have a Ro permanently producing pure and their pure was 24...they said my meter was out but also admitted they never ever check or service the Ro.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.
