Check these sites to understand a little more about TDS and
conductivity/resistance:
http://www.coleparmer.com/Techinfo/Techstuf/condtec.htm
http://www.culligan.ca/tds.html
http://www.goodwaterco.com/tds.htm - which includes a chart and
graph relating TDS to conductivity.

Equivalent weight of Ag+ = 100
TDS as CaCo3(equiv. weight 50) x 2 = TDS as Ag+
(this assumes monovalent Ag+ ions)
