Canadian tire TDS meter

Yes, kind of near the automotive stuff, RV parts actually. I picked one up today. Brand is 'IntelliTEC". Made in China for 'Lancer and Loader Group'. Came with extensive instructions a spare set of batteries. It is not water proof (don't drop the whole unit into the water), 3 probes, 2 stainless steel for measuring TDS and a third for temperature compensation. Remembers last reading even after it's turned off. Auto-Off function, range is from 0 to 999 ppm with a resolution of 1 ppm. Accuracy +/- 5% @ 77 Fahrenheit. Two year warranty.

My tapwater measured 213 ppm and a bottle of opened distilled water I have kicking around measured 002 ppm. Good enough for this hobbyist.
