I gave a good rinse and it shows zero initially, but then after a day or two it shows 10.
May try different bin.
My meter is a hand held one you dip in water - If someone is in the market for one, I got it free with my household Zero water filter - Like a Brita only better.

I was having this issue too. Look on the bottem of the container and look for the triangle. If it is a 1 or 2 inside the triangle, it is food safe. Anything higher is not and the plastic may be contaminating the water. This goes for all packaged foods too. Many foods are not put into food safe plastic to save on costs. I have 2 five gallon salt pails that are food safe and the rest are all 5 and above all from Intant Ocean. Guess they want to cut costs too. I now store my top off water in a 10 gallon aquarium so I don't have to worry about it.
