Hi Art, Certainly.... we routinely have CS tested by a lab using atomic absorption and we then compare those results to PWT readings. I might also add that we use 3 PWT's to make sure they all are in the same ballpark. We get very repeatable results with the meters. Please note that a correction factor has to be applied to the final reading but that is also a constant. Of course a caveat is that we test CS made with our generators. Not sure how they will read on other CS but most CS is around 80-90% ionic so the meter should read in the general range closely enough for most folks.
All in all, they are a fine piece of equipment for the average person to use in checking CS no matter what anyone else says. Not trying to be argumentative with Ole Bob but he's a bit too condemning of the PWT in my mind. And of course the price is right for what you get.

Can you offer a defense of why the layperson would find the tester "good enough" to use as a guage? I realize that everythng has a purpose and limit, so I'm not looking for a sophisticated appliance if a simple thing will get the job done...... -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
