Reach4, you mentioned to check for grains. Can I use a TDS meter to check for hardness?

Hello everybody, sorry for the delayed response. I was under weather for a few days. Reach4, I tried your recommendation. So far so good. Dittohead, I'll be testing your recommendation tonight. Bannerman, thanks for showing how settings were calculated. This info will come in handy in the...
