If you are using a multimeter on the ohms range to measure the conductivity of your solution you may be putting yourself in harms way. These meters use a DC source voltage for resistance measurements, usually a 9 volt battery. This is enough voltage to start the process of electrolysis from one probe to the other. I believe that most of these probes are nickel plated. Nickel ions are very bad for you. A proper conductivity meter uses a relatively low AC voltage at 400 cycles ore more to eliminate the very phenomena. Best Regards, Arnold Beland
