Gee Lee, I do!  Most tap water is ground or river water, at least around
here, and the primary contributor to TDS is Calcium from limestone.  A meter
is just fine for measuring TDS, and if  Calcium as a primary contributor is
a very good indicator of  hardness.  Besides, with a TDS of 60 you can't
have a DH of more than 3 to 4 can you?  Additionally, if you establish a
baseline with a kit to see how much of the initial TDS is from calcium
hardness, the meter should be a good check till your water source changes or
you start using crushed coral in your killie tanks.
