 The water people are probably not trying to compare water readings to
something else or add/subtract anything to thier water where the reading is
not compared before/after to get a uS gain or decrease.

..and if they were, how would they know?

It would seem that us IESers are every instrument makers nightmare. :-)

This is not a big-time problem; instruments that measure to 0.1 micro Siemen are available off the shelf for about $100. For 5 times that you can get down to nano. All of these can be gotten with NIST certification for under $100 additional, and can be recalibrated in the field with standard solutions and if necessary returned to the maker for NIST recert.
