Posted	TDS Meters
30-10-2006 22:22 by robert.pope	Can anyone recommend a good TDS meter ? hand held?( i could keep a check on the tds from the filter and in the aquarium with this !) i recently purchased a second hand Aquathin reverse osmosis system carb 6 GAC Post filter Carb 12 GAC Prefilter RO pod (not sure what gallon per day !) Deionisation Module Preasureised storage tank and booster pump! It was serviced in may by The Pure H2O Company Ltd. for a whopping £164.51..........and i bought it for £5 buy it now off ebay. it looks to be a all singing all dancing filter with led lights !!! I know people say dont get second hand but this was to good a bargin even if i have to purchase a new Ro membrane. SO WHAT TDS DO YOU ALL USE???? thanks

30-10-2006 22:41 by robert.pope	Can i not?....i am new to this and thought i could stick it in my tank and get me a reading!
31-10-2006 01:25 by nick	sticking it in the tank would just give you a massive reading because of all the fish waste and ect in the tank, tds meters are just for measuring the amount of disolved solids in ro water, which should be 0 with a DI filter as well HTH
31-10-2006 11:51 by Ray	Hi,I bought mine from Osmotics about £18.00.You should use on the tank once you have set the water parameters to the level you want,rocks and substrate can alter the conductivity,and your meter will let you know if this is happening. What fish are you making water for?
