Would anyone with a TDS meter be so kind as to let me bring a couple water samples over and test them out? I have a few sources of water and am wondering which is the best to use. Thanks

PeeJ -
Where are you located? As there are people in the club from all over central and south Texas and even in Houston and other areas, it would help to know who is near you. Also, a TDS meter only tells you how many dissolved solids are in the water, not what those solids are. When it comes to water quality, it is really more important to know what they are rather than how many solids are in the water as some things are harmless and others can kill a tank. A TDS meter is mostly usefull when testing water from your RO/DI filter so you know when the filters need to be replaced.
