stuart,
sorry to hijack your thread but, did mine for the first time on sat and was 560!!!! now my thoughts are oh my god what is it going to cost to get that down. Has anyone else got tds this high and does it cause you a lot of probs as i am going to find out as soon as water butt arrives and i sort my ro out.
cheers simb0

Hi Stuart not been home long and just seen this thread.

Only one thought occurs to me. Did you use the meter on any other water in between the tests?  It could be that. Remember that it measures in parts per million. Wouldnt take much to make it read wrong in the calibration solution.

When I use mine on anything other than pure I always pop it into some pure before putting it away.

If it persists we will send you another one by next day delivery.

I would try it in the morning to let it dry out and settle down down. Let me know mate.

Andrew
