I sent a sample to Ole Bob that read 17PPM on my meter. His result for that sample was 26.8PPM. The NCDNR water lab result for a similar sample was 45.5 PPM. [they required a minimum 8oz sample and averaged the results over 3 tests...don't know the method but it's HUGE gummint lab that does nothing but test water] The TE can be highly variable depending on water/room temperatures, water quality and such. [saturation points drop with temperature?] No two people in different places run a generator under the exact same conditions. If the rate of particle formation is high while in process, the total silver content will increase as the conductivity does not increase at the same rate. Further, PPM meter readings tend to drop a few points over night as a stronger TE develops.[if it does] So, it depends on 'when' the reading is taken as well.
Don't get me wrong here, a meter is still useful to compare batches made under the same conditions with the same generator, but everyones fudge factor will be a bit different.
