The unit measures between 0 and 1 ppm. I have to dilute it to get it in that range. Specifications give an accuracy of 10%, so 60% to 90% error is way out of line.

Titration is not NEARLY accurate enough to measure 15 PPM
Even an AA Spectrophotometer has great difficulty at low concentrations and 3 runs of the same sample averaged is the procedure

I am helping my son in law with his colloidal silver production. But I
    am running into something I don't understand.  He has been using a
    hanna
    pure water meter to measure the ionic ppm.  He has been applying a
    1.1
    correction factor, that is brewing for a 14 uS, to get 15 ppm.

    He just ordered and received a hanna silver ion colorimeter and we
    have
    been testing with it.  When we dissolve the CS silver in nitric acid,
    the readings are way off, near zero.  I am going to contact Hanna on
    that, I am assuming that either the nitrate ion, or the pH is
    messing it up.

    But testing some week old CS, I am getting about 6 ppm on the
    colorimeter, but 12 uS (or about 13 ppm) on the conductivity
    meter.  I
    don't know which one is wrong.  Anyone have experience with the
    colorimeter?

    Thanks,

    Marshall
