Title: Water reading with Tds meter.
Post by: Klean07 on January 28, 2012, 07:31:10 pm: I was chatting to a fellow wc earlier. He told me that as one of his side lines he charges custies £10 to test the hardness of their water with his tds meter. He said custies with dishwashers etc need to know the readings etc.
Anyone else do this? If not think I may try myself seems like a good little earner to me lol!!
