I have TWO of the same one that Brian have - they works great!
i just got a new one - http://www.airwaterice.com/product/SENNODUALTDSMETER/Dual_TDS_Meter_Senno.html like it even better!
- it is a DUAL TDS meter (for in/out)
- press a button to show BOTH reading at the same time
- Over 80%...
I started a new thread regarding the water hardness, the BEFORE softener reading is WAY OUT of the SCALE...
http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&/topic,9701.msg92065.html#msg92065
what is this mean? is this mean Cati-Ani won't be good in my case?
i want to use...
due to my Cati-Ani unit mixed with water softener issue, I need to test my water's hardness...
the new test kit have a scale of 1 to 12 drops of solution to see the color change...
the AFTER water softener reading seems normal (3 drops) - 3GH
but the BEFORE water softener reading is way out...
i got TWO about THREE years back... they are good in the first few days, then one started to chase the other, which end up the 2nd one is hiding all the time, eventually it starve to death.
you can get this, it is pretty long, but it won't work for pellet food, it only works for chopped fine...
try to drop some pellet foods next to where they hide out...
and no worry, they will come out after hiding for a day or two...
just beware, that if they are not mating pair, they will fight eventually, and one would be stave to death.
i think last time http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=8973.msg85945#msg85945
Well, it is too much quicker... :(
is there any other way (beside a TDS meter to measure the output of the unit) - to determine the unit need to recharge?
thx

Bruce,
the Kati-Ani 5 i got:
- my input line is 640ppm (after the water softener)
- rate set as ~8gph
- in the beginning it was giving me reading of 7ppm
- this afternoon i noticed it was giving me 135ppm?
- after 40g more water, and now it is having a reading of 634ppm?
so far it only used...
cured... in my sump for more than a month now.
pic, i will try later tonight.
i should be home the the rest of the week (starting tomorrow), so you can stop by any time to take a look.
thx
i have a big piece (FLAT - macro rock) that i don't think i will use... (12" x 20" or larger)
if you need it for a 10g tank, i can break a piece for you - free.
