yep. Not so rough for me though- with my com 100, after doing the
math over and over with many many quarts of eis, for my process, the
uS equals the PPM as per Faraday, when read immediately upon turning
off the power.
So, I would say, that for us hairsplitters, when starting out with
pure water as measured by an under 1 uS reading, the uS reading is
equal to PPM.
Then again, that reading drops over the next day or 2, and I think the
ions are playing bumper cars and sticking to each other. Also there
are a few oxides/hydroxides continuing passing off electrons to each
other in liquid solution. Even so, the total amount of silver has not
changed.

When you are measuring colloidal silver...
If you are using a COM100 in uS/KCl mode you can take the reading
'as is.' If its in ppm/NaCl mode you should at least double what
is says on the dial.
If you have a TDS meter then double what it says on the meter. (All
TDS meters are fixed in ppm/NaCl mode).
These guidelines only apply if you start with pure water in the
first place. If you dont, then any meter is useless for measuring
silver.
Even the best meters are only a rough guide anyway. (But much better
than nothing.)

OK I also have a TDS-3 meter but could never figure out how to use
it. If my reading is 11.1 on the Com-100 does this mean my
ppm is 22 ? or is it still 11.1 ?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
