:D :D

Got it from aquariumpros.ca Lynn. Works slick, I know my RO membrane is okay now, was a little worried because some of the water was a bit on the warm side once........found out the DI was shot tho, I had let it go a bit long.

Tapwater here ran at 1.45.

I just ordered a hand held TDS meter as well. Getting it from the States.

I've had mine for almost a year now, ever since I bought my RO/DI unit. A great digital tool and makes it easy to tell when it's time to change cartridges and guarantee quality water.

Only problem is mine now needs new batteries, and they are the little round watch type batteries which are usually kinda expensive! :eek:

Does anyone local (Vancouver) know if any LFS has calibration solution, as I'm sure I'll have to re-calibrate the darn thing after the battery change?

Great, thanks Brad.

I'm sure I'll have no problem finding a hydroponics shop here in Surrey! LOL :D

BTW.. Why would a hydroponics shop have TDS calibration fluid? What would the application be for a TDS meter in growing plants?

Not sure, but they have lots of different types of TDS meters...and calibration solutions.

I don't know for sure, but I read it was something to do with the fertilization aspect. I'll have to go hunting for that again.

Or you can ask your neighborhood pot grower :D
