Well, crud, I was thinking of getting a TDS to see if measuring dissolved solids could tell me what the H*** is going on here---my DW (various brands) reads fine on the PWT, testing at .3 to .9 uS for different jugs, but the CS is turning yellow. So it seems that there is something in the water that does not show up tested with a PWT. It looks like the TDS isn't accurate enough to tell me anything useful though, after reading what Trem and Ken have to say about it. My Hanna PWT was purchased from Trem at silvergen, and came with some very helpful extra instructions and info. paula ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ode Coyote" <[email protected]>
