Hi to all experts in labs and others that can provide comments:

I know that PPM measurement is an important
item to all people producing CS.

FYI - I have a BioGuard Multi-test 1200V (model name)
         that I used to check the water in my swimming pool.
        This kit performs 5 important pool and Spa tests.
         One of these tests is PPM reading. I paid a few
          years ago $30.00 Cdn for the kit. The kit comes
         with 5 different liquid (reagent) to perform the
         various tests.

         If I understand correctly, PPM is a measure of
         parts per million in a liquid. (I presume referring
         to some sort of metal or material in that liquid).

         I have used this kit to measure PPM in the CS that
         I have produced and according to the reading, my
         CS would read between 10 - 20 PPM.
         The accuracy of the result is +/- 10, due to one drop
          of a specific liquid used to test the water represents 10PPM.
          It is not very accurate, But I wonder if this would represent
          a better picture of PPM in the CS than the TDS-1.
          My TDS-1 reads 5 on the digital readout while this
          swimming tool kit would read between 10 - 20 PPM.

          My CS is produced using a 30Vdc power supply with
          0 ppm distilled water (heated water to speed up the process)
          and using continous stirring. No current limiting used on this
          batch and the producing time was for 2hrs.

          What I would like to know from the experienced people dealing
          with PPM what comments they could provide about using this crude
          test to measure PPM. I know that again it reads a total, but
          if you start with pure nickel and pure distilled water and insert
          only silver in the water, the final result must be majority
silver...
          I understand very well that the best measurement is from
          a lab. However, it is not practical for many people to carry out
          and if this could give them an approximate reading, perhaps that
          it may help some of us.

          I would like your recommendation as far as this kit is concerned.
          We know enough about TDS-1 now, we should comment only
          on this kit if possible to avoid confusion.

           I want to thank the people in advance that will take the time to
           provide useful comments.
