Thanks Kathryn,
Now I feel better, was about to think I needed to re-invent the wheel
here. I've had two batches test at over 16.0 but normally it
stays around 13 so I guess Im good here.

The Com-100 reads it differently than the more simple water testers.
It reads pretty close to the actual ppm, while the others read about
half of what the ppm actually is.
You're good.

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
Melly
