Okay Ole Bob and Doug, I've read the posts about meters with one eye slightly open, pretending I won't ever have to pay real attention to them -- but I am now at the point where I realize that the only way to know that I am producing consistent cs is to be able to test my water and know how pure it is.
Beyond that I do not understand - but it's time to get a meter. So, Doug, can you explain more about meters? I ws going to get the Hanna TDS but mybe that's silly if it is limited to only solids in the water. What would be incredibly helpful would be a breif non-technical description of meters and what they do and why you need them. Like what are the bells and whistles on Ole Bobs?
