"New but handy" I think that name was pretty close to what C tire's one was...not sure might have read up on the net and it's ringing the wrong bell..Anyway I would be willing to get one if some one would be willing to compare with a "high" grade one for accuracy. Any takers ?

I was just in there looking for a rope to tow a friend out of the ditch. I looked for the tds but I didn't see it. I would like to compare mine with a different one as well just for fun.

I bought one off ebay for 5 bucks last summer and tested it against a aquarium grade one, and the result was the same.
Take off the aquarium name and price comes down. Timers are the same, can be found 1/2 the price at normal stores vs the aquarium stores.

Hmm..interesting I'll be making a trip to C-Tire to crab one of those. I'll let you know what the name is of it. OHHHH crap!!!! *BONKS HEAD* very hard!!!! sorry guys !! it was in walmart ..big sigh... if you walk in the main doors it's in the far left back corner area. second isle back i believe. Not sure when the next time I'm heading in but i will get one asap.

oka yeah, i wasn't clear with my previous post. That's exactly what i meant. i know the aquarium label makes everything a lot cheaper... that's why half the hobby is dedicated to DIY and other ways to avoid buying things from the lfs at all cost. I would also like to see several comparison trials done on tap water of differing TDS levels to be sure of both precision and accuracy. i would be fantastic not to have to buy those ridiculously priced tds meters at the lfs.

I doubt any of the TDS monitors are LFS/Aquarium Supply stores are made specific for aquarium use, labels are just changed when needed.
MOPS.ca sells the one I got off ebay for 5 bucks for 35 bucks. http://www.mops.ca/cgi-bin/SoftCart....b80+1232970595
