TDS meter for $0.72
Check this out... it costs $10 but with google check out they give you a $10 coupon.. change the shipping to 7-10 days and the meter only ends up costing you .72 cents( ca sales tax) ...

i just got one...

So what are your thoughts on it now that you have it in hand? Is it possible to recalibrate it (if necessary)?

Just wondering for the ones who purchased it already if they are accurate. Forums from woot and QVC said these TDS meter were inacurrate and they always gave the same reading regardless if they tested tap or RO/DI water. Thats why I held off buying these brands. I hope Im wrong

I just did a quick test while the boy was in the tub.

RO - 042
Tap - 554

It may not be accurate, but it gives a rough order of magnitude.

Of Note - In all cases of testing, the number went straight to 044 then took a second to adjust up or down.

I have brand new membranes sitting here for my RO/DI. . . but as you can probably guess, with 550+ TDS on my tap water I am waiting until AFTER I move to put them in. Sorry guys.
