The TDS is the meter I use i.e. Total Dissolved Solids. It reads 7
after turning off, which is approximately 14ppm. It then goes down to
5 which is 10ppm, which I thought is normal. Mine is not the Com 100
but is a cheaper version. dee

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
