free TDS meter readings?

[jimbo78]

i finally got my free meter today. my RO/DI water measured at 012, and 017 on the two sepurate tests i did. is that ok ? what readings are the rest of you getting? my tap water reads at 148 to 157.

I tested distilled water and got 001, water from the fridge was 149, and tap was 354.

my ro water is zero and it read 002 a few times. tap water was 016 and arrowhead bottled water was a hundred something.

[jimbo78]

maybe i should test mine right out of the filter rather than out of the jug that its been sitting in a couple of days.

Mine measured 86 at the tap, 08 at the ro water, and 01 at the ro/di

[jadeguppy]

I was suprised that my tap water measured 097. I expected it much higher. I guess something else makes it taste so bad.

[ZrC]

Wow, I must have some toxic tap water. Then again I am from NJ...

my ro tested 10 with the free meter and my tap tested 100. The tap water reading surprised me! I am wondering if anyone here has a the free one and also a proven accurate one to compare the readings.. anyone?

I got my free tds meter in yesterday. Tap water from the well 454 and ro was 006

Sounds like they are off. Either the ones that are testing from the DI needs to be changed are they arent right on. As soon asmy TDS on my RO/DI reads 001 I change the DI resign.

My filters are way past due for changing I think the meter is accurate

I have done two separate tests on two different days and both were very close together, I did not write down the measurments, though, so these are from memory:

Test 1:
Tap - mid 500 TDS
RO - mid 20 TDS
RO/DI - 000 TDS

Test 2:
Tap - high 400 TDS
RO - mid 20 TDS
RO/DI - 000 TDS

So I am happy with the accuracy.

I just got mine today (arrived in the mail on Fri though). The batteries were dead in the unit but worked when replacing them w/ the ones it came with. My reading off the tap was 150ish and my ro/di was 002. I'll test again after the unit has had a chance to warm up (it's been sitting outside in less than 10 degree weather.

I have one I got last week, the batteries were dead too. My DI out reads 15 with it, my in line meter reads 2. Going over to a friends for dinner and check it out on his water.

Cant be sold out when they werent for sell. Dont you me they are all given out.

[dzeadow]

Yeah that too! Well, actually they were sold for $10.. it was google that then made them free! So I guess I was 50% correct.

[Racing1]

make sure you are testing the water accurately. It needs to be at the correct temp to get a true reading....

[rbursek]

My friend inline meter wes reading 0, when I used this meter on the water it was reading 7. So I guess it is time to get some calibration fluid.
