Re: hana tds meter
I agree with Wright.
For what I use it for I just put it in distilled water and see what the TDS
is, it should be close to zero, mine runs at 2 ppm. I then take a
premeasure amount of salt mix it in a gallon of water and see what that is.
I want all my tanks to be there, so that is my base factor.

Can anyone recommend how, and or if this needs to be done. and maybe how
to best use the unit.
