I concur. I only use my meter for measuring my CS as it gets closer to the end of brewing time. Works well for me. Been doing this for the past 6 years with nothing but great results. I don't sell mine but give it away to friends and family....and IT works for all of us! ScottyHave a great day!

All meters used are inaccurate, but they are 'inaccurate' enough for home purposes. I use meters to determine my shutoff point with each batch I produce, that gives me a *rough* idea of what I am repeatedly producing for each batch without wild ar*e guessing {I like to know there is *something* in that water besides water <g>}. There's no need to be 100% accurate with the home produced LVDC product as it is a predominantly ionic silver solution, and that type solution doesn't hang around in the body long enough to cause any unwanted issues. It doesn't have to be administered/applied/ingested/used in prescription measured amounts. N. Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2012 12:25:02 -0400 Subject: Re: CS>Heat increasing ppm. From: loukra...@gmail.com To: silver-list@eskimo.com Yes, I am certain now that it is the conductivity that is showing on my ppm meter. That being the case, and if most ppm meters are being calibrated for NaCl (I have read), how do I get an accurate Ag ppm assessment of my finished product? Using a standard TDS meter and the fact that there is a difference in conductivity between NaCl and Ag, how does the reading (10ppm) actually apply for Ag ppm. This prompts the questions - Is there a device (meter or way) for measuring ppm Ag. more accurately. If I am missing the point here with this just let me know. It just seemed logical.Thanks, Lou On Mon, Sep 24, 2012 at 11:57 AM, Marshall <mdud...@king-cart.com> wrote: It is impossible for the ppm to change with temperature. PPM is a constant, unless you have some settling out, or the water is evaporating. How are you measuring the ppm? Remember conductivity increases significantly with temperature, so if you are measuring conductivity you are measuring a change in conductivity with temperature.

An 8ppm solution increased to 16ppm when heated to near boil and returns to 8ppm at room temp. Is this just the separation of large molecules to smaller when stimualted by heat?
