Recommendations for portable TDS Meter

[jefstathiou]

I recently moved to a city that uses Chloramines. I have a Spectrapure MaxCap RODI system which supposedly takes care of Chloramines. The inline TDS Meter shows 0 TDS, but I would like to verify that reading. Short question is whether or not there is an accurate portable TDS meter that one can use to verify the inline meters?
Thanks for any suggestions!

You can use a chlorine test kit available at any pool store to verify they have been removed. A TDS meter is not a good test for chloramines.

One of the filters on your unit should remove chloramines. If you keep your filters changed as needed, you should not have a problem.

Straight from Spectrapure:

0.5 micron Carbon Block Pre-Filter with 20,000 ppm-gallons chlorine removal capacity. Our best carbon block Chloramine eater. All the carbon block you ever need, period.

There are a number of reasonable TDS meters available. I got the HM Digital COM100, and it seems fine.

I agree that a chlorine kit would be more appropriate for chloramine, although I personally wouldn't worry about it. This article has more:
