Hi Douglas, <grin> better let me take that unit off your hands, before you do something you regret later.
BTW a TDS meter is nothing more than a conductivity meter with a circuit that converts the readout to ppm of some predetermined compound or group of compounds, the so called TDS factor. This needs to be further converted to supply a measure of silver ions. The TDS meter or conductivity meter will measure any ion or particle that is not electrically neutral. It will measure colloids composed of single ions or multi-ion particles. It will not measure colloids of non ionic or metallic particles. So if you are trying to measure a colloid of metallic silver particles then it will not work. Most of us, however, are trying to generate ionic silver colloid and in this, if properly configured, the TDS meter should be fine, I think...
