Grats on your new half price TDS meter

Thx. Can't say I'm really a fan of WalMart, or WalMerde as one of my Quebec friends calls it. I'd like to support the little guy too, my grandparents ran a little corner store, but hard to resist that low price.

My thoughts exactly!! I would assume it would sell in the pet stores out here for 60% more than what the LFS on the coast sell for. Just thought i would throw it out there in case it hasn't been mentioned before.

Should have just bought it when we were there. I am going to see if they have one down here. I am sure they carry the same stuff.

I try as well, but its becoming more difficult to pay the higher prices of the independent small stores, I know they can't really compete but in these times I find myself going to Wally World more and more.

I got one from Walmart about 6 months back and it's been great. I put my RODI in about 4 weeks back and it had the dual in-line meter. Both the Walmart one and the inline agreed on the TDS every time so far. 3 from my RO and 0 from my DI.

Bought won yesterday as well, correct, its in the RV section. Tap water measured 180ppm and 'filtered' water from my fridge (new filter) measured 140ppm. I live in Westbank and the WFN is our water supplier. Guess that explains the algae growth. I added Fluval Phosphate removal media yesterday to my canister filter when i did a 10g water change, seems like my algae is double today! I am guessing it will take a few days for this media to have an effect.
