In addition No color means small particles..unless they are VERY big and look like sparklies. So, given that the meter readings are the same, no color and a bright TE means high PPM and small colloidal particles...and a high particle to ion ratio. No color and a faint TE = high ion to particle ratio and small particles. [and lower total silver content than above] Ken
