Ken, The TDS is "Total Dissolved Solids" meter. A TDS meter is not an accurate way to measure colloidal silver, as a colloidal particle is larger than a dissolved particle, and the conductivity is different.
However, in your case it sounds like you are making "ionic" silver, which is a dissolved solution, not a colloidal suspention. A TDS meter might be a tool you could use with some accuracy.
