It will measure the ionic portion of your CS but not the colloidal part.
It's not worthless, but it's not accurate either.
It's better than nothing to get an idea that will always be a bit...or a bit more than a bit... low. That is... maybe close and maybe 20% to 60% off on the low side.
Looking at the TE [Tyndal Effect] with a laser pointer gives 'some' idea of how low. A very bright heavy TE means very low. Almost no TE means somewhat low.

I recently bought a TDS(Total Disolved Solids) meter to measure ppm. I just wanted to know if that was a good way of testing. It said it had been calibrated before shipment. Thanks, Carol
