Making pure

[Jimroot]

Never. Me and luck are not friends, having said that, as you alerted me, I'll either loose about a tenner or save myself time and money making **** water

let us know how the readings compare, if there is no need to spend more I do not see a reason to do it. Tds meter is quite simple if I can get it cheaper, fine with me.

Exactly the same readings. Only differences are: the genuine one has makers mark, gives temperature to one decimal place and the case doesn't smell as badly of chemical fumes (I won't use the cheaper ones case)

Cheaper one still good then.do you need temperature?can you give ys a link to the cheaper one please?

The link is further back in the thread or ebay for tds3. I wouldn't have thought temp to a decimal is needed really. As these things are alway plus or minus a bit anyway

Thanks I have just ordered one.

To credit daqua and the 'genuine' suppliers, I think we need at least one 'genuine' tds meter or the uncertainty would always be there,

The 'fake' to me just looks identical. ,oh just noticed, the ebay one has a CE mark too

yes I know

99% I go for proper equipment however I am not into wfp just yet.The one from fleebay is just for now to see where I am at with making pure water and to decide how to expand my business in the future.

If I had to guess, I'd say the cheap ones are the same, the other company buy them from the same source and brand them, maybe they test them too. I my eye, it's just the branding printed onto the case.

I'm starting to regret some short cuts in my equipment spending, some 2nd hand buys too are good, some just ****, but sometimes it's the only way to afford them at all.

It is good to shop around.When I buy second hand I buy well known equipment but yes from time to time cheaper can be good as well.
