Default new tds tester for $15

i've just picked up a new tds test for $15. not too bad of a price. has a 2 year warranty with it.



tested some bottled water, it came out at 3, the city water in nelson 45, and my well water @ 445. good reason to use ro/di water!!

If you're going to start using RO/DI then why would you want to sell your TDS meter? It's a needed tool!

I don't think he's selling it...he's telling us where he bought it from and for how much.

Went out and bought this one myself last night. Works okay, but depressed me to see 29ppm in my "purchased" RO water. Maybe a reason I'm getting a little algae lately. Also maybe a reason to get RO/DI installed at home.

^ Uh, you don't test your tank water, you test your supply water...the water you mix your salt with, and top up your tank with.
