Grant thanks for the reply, but now I'm a little confused.
I thought that ms/cm was the unit of resistance, not it's reciprocal and that  
Mw (Megohms) was the unit of conductance? (or is it the other way around)
Perhaps I should have made it easier on myself and asked what 18.2 Megohms is 
in microsiemens. What I really wanted to know was how my (so far 3 stage) water 
treatment compares to lab' water polishing systems that I've seen on the web, 
costing several thousand US Dollars.
