in the meantime, i would just go down the the water store, or to one of
those water machines at a reputable grocery store. i used to service those
water machines, the TDS(total dissolved solids)can be as low as 1-10ppm in
some of those water machines, very clean.

I do have a TDS meter, but just thought of something, if i used it in the
salt tank, it would read off the scale, as salt is a dissolved solid, lol.
so it only works for CLEAN PURE H2O, but those machines are CLEAN! Trust
me. just go to a reputable super market, instead of a mom and pop liquor
store when choosing which water machine to trust.
