Hi Jay and Mike,

The thing that scares me about the TDS-1 is that the accuracy is guaranteed 
at plus or minus 10 PPM. So if you are measuring a solution of 10 PPM the meter 
can read anywhere from 0 to 20 PPM and still be in spec as far as the company 
is concerned. Probably the wrong meter for CS production at any cost.

Best wishes,
Andy

Well, Jay, there's value and there's value...

The TDS-1 from Hanna Instruments is a good bit cheaper, but it reads 
from 0 to 2000 ppm. You'll be using it at the *very* bottom of its 
range, which means the accuracy will not be tremendous. Sorta like 
measuring grains of sand with a yardstick. Do you see what I mean?
