Try this guy in Kent Town Australia. He has an inexpensive PPM meter that's pretty nicely made. Reasonably accurate. http://www.silverwell.com.au/
Also try ebay.com.au Ode At 08:17 PM 12/10/2004 -5, you wrote: > >Welcome aboard, Adrian! > >You write: >> I make it in a 850 ml jar, with 3 x 9 volt batteries, in series, but not >> sure what ppm it produces , Phil reckons 10ppm is best, Not having a ppm >> meter, cannot find one in NZ.
