Please excuse me for barging into the middle of this thread, but I'm
reading things here that I find rather confusing. Which meter are you
using to test your TDS? I've been using the silver puppy for 3+
years now and never had a batch test below 11.1 and normally its
over 13.0. Even after sitting untouched for months my TDS is
still in the 11 to 12 range. Im using the Com-100 meter and had
assumed this meant my CS was 11 to 12 ppm. Am I wrong or what
is it Im missing here. Without archives its difficult to trace
this back to the source. Can someone please enlighten this feeble
brain? btw my DW tests at .3 or less prior to brewing.
Thanks

That is probably normal Melly, you are brewing EIS like most of us
i.e. approximately 80% ionic and 20% colloidal. The concentration
probably depends on how long it was brewing for. Mine normally reads
7 after the auto Silverpuppy shuts off. It will then go down to about
5 after a couple of days. This would mean it is around 10ppm. dee

How do i know if what i brewed is EIS or CS or combination of both
or if it even contains silver? Yesterday, i brewed and my TDS read
7ppm. Today, i measured again by TDS and it is only 4. Is it normal
to go down? When does it stop going down?
Thanks
