Dee,
If your CS is clear and stable, you are doing great and don't really
need to go to the expense of a different meter
I just usually recommend a PWT or COM-100 because A TDS wouldn't have
worked for me here. And until a person gets going making CS there is
no real way to know if a TDS is sufficient or not, though the odds
are on the side of it being good enough.
I didn't get a meter until a few months into CS making, when I was
having continual problems with very yellow finished CS. Ode kept
telling me it was the DW water quality, but I didn't listen, and he
was kind enough to work through other possibilities with me. Then
finally I purchased a PWT from Silvergen, and it turned out it was
the DW water quality after all. Had I owned a good meter from the
get-go, I'd have saved myself several months of frustration and
experimentation. Once I found out how extremely variable the DW sold
here is (under any brand names) I got a distiller, and my problems
were solved as I could then distill to the purity I needed.
For some reason, DW quality here seems to be running good for the
nonce. If it continues good over the coming weeks and months, I won't
replace my distiller which finally broke (the spout to the collection
container crumbled, and the collection bottle had cracked anyway). It
did good for around 6 years though. Not bad for an el cheapo.

Me either. I too have a filter on the water system but it only took
the contaminants down about 30 points. i.e. on my TDS meter the tap
water before we put the filter on read 288 and after the filter it
reads about 263. When I have distilled it, it reads 000 but this is
only on a TDS meter. It still makes really clear stable CS though. dee
