well ill admit i dont know a lot about my meter as far as the probe goes id hazard to guess it may work that way. as for the salt wouldnt i get a high reading for e/c? my tap water reads 9.2 ph , .17-.22 e/c , and 145-167 ppm. i thought the e/c would read higher just because we do get so much snow and use salt to control ice. or is that high? seems low or normalish to me. no readings or inaccurate reading on distilled kinda sucks but i can use my drops to at least guesstimate the run off i suppose.
and yeah it is like chasing 2 year olds. i did my time , im too worn down to chase much of anything these days
