Can't be done with a meter. To quote Frank Key, "You are spinning your wheels" You can 'guess' at it, factor in some vague variables and find the ballparks parking lot. To find home base you listen for the cheering crowd and you still don't know which team is up at bat till you get there. Even

I have abandoned using meters as a measure of anything over around 10 uS and gone to using the Faraday equation as a predictor. With 1 milliamp on the electrodes, [achieved at around 6 uS] running a quart sized batch...just figure 2 PPM per hour after conductivity related auto shutdown. Even

PT:  There is no meter available to measure CS strength.  All you learn from a TDS meter is that you have something.   You should have tested your good meter in a sample of distilled water, reading would be 0-1 when you actually do the test.  Its seems you looked

Thanks Ode this is already over my head.  Is there really any reason then to get one of these meters?  Would it just be better for me to use manual swap after the auto swap shuts off on my silverpuppy? PT On Wednesday, November 4, 2020, 08:19:37 AM EST, Ode Coyote wrote: You'll

You'll get to the parking lot of the ball park at 10, but nothing over 30 means anything at all. The problem with using meters on solutions with limited solubility. [ESPECIALLY "PPM" meters set up to measure salt water which is very highly soluble] The ionic portion of CS has very limited

Thanks Ode.  I just want to know if I am making 10ppm or 50ppm EIS.  Will the conductivity meter you mentioned do that?  If not I guess I will just have to keep 'winging' it! Just for general information.  I purchased the TDS meter on amazon.  When I contacted them about it being defective

May I suggest that you purchase an EC meter? They are still less than $20 from eBay. If you're lucky, you'll get one that will have reasonably accurate absolute measurements at 50 PPM, plus or -10%. Discounting the absolute measurements, it will give you an indication of what's happening from
