Well I might just have to question that reasoning in the interest of possibly learning something. If one knows the water is pure, so let's assume we all know what we are doing by way of EIS production, what difference does colour make in relation to meter readings? You've still only got water with silver in it. Doubling the TDS readout will give approximate TOTAL silver content the same as the EC meter readout 'as is' will give an approximate TOTAL silver content indication. All meters work on conductivity hence they will all give an approximate TOTAL silver content reading. Doesn't matter if the EC meter is calibrated supposedly 1:1, or if one simply doubles the reading on a TDS meter, it's still a reading of TOTAL silver content in the water. I know meters pick up on the ionic component, but doing the rough calculations we are speaking about here they will all give an approximate silver content in total, not just ions. This is why I use meters just to give me a 'ballpark' figure at shutoff point.
