TDS meter and Counductivity meter are the same thing
just measuring the same thing on a diffrent scale. ie
ppm or DH 30 ppm is 1 DH diffrent scale same thing. So
if you have a tds meter you still look for the
diffrence in your reading from the first reading. ie
your tank TDS is say 50 next day its 100 this change
in 50 TDS is your level of pollution that has
accumulated since your last reading. So keep your TDS
meter you wont need to buy a Counductivity meter. They
both will do the same thing. Hope this helps.
