Hello,
Thanks for the question. I'm reading these threads hoping for enlightenment on this. I'd love to read a TDS and PH meters. A true magazine too.

A magazine that contains text rapped around pictures and text put in colour boxes. That's the real world we live and would make such a purchase worth while.
