Essentialy, double a PPM/TDS meter reading to get conductivity [uS]
uS = PPM ..in CS/EIS..after conductivity stabilizes.

..well, not really , but it's usually close.

OK -- perhaps I'm particularly dense -- but this is the kind of statement that creates confusion instead of eliminating it. First you say that Ionic silver requires no multipliers (or dividers?). Since we can assume that our colloids are at least partially Ionic, can we also assume that the digital readout on the Hanna tester is (more or less) correct as is? Then you turn right around and in the same paragraph say that *since most PPM/TDS meters use a /2 fudge factor, one should double the reading*. Why? How does *conductivity in microsiemens (uS)* relate to the ppm-level in our home-made Colloidal Silver? Thanks. MA
