Generally, the coils r made of aluminum but again u wud pick up a reading w ur tds meter
thats a good point. Would be cool to know how that works. as far as how the heavy metals actually get in via the ac or huey
Are u here for a reason?Just ro it... While were at it we can pee in the same bucket and clean it all
and that I aintProbably a qualified pathologist.....haha
I truly cant answer that bro. But im gonna research the hell out of it just becauseGenerally, the coils r made of aluminum but again u wud pick up a reading w ur tds meter
LOLAre u here for a reason?
Not really...Are u here for a reason?
the TDS reading does not only cover beneficial minerals, it also includes any heavy metals that may be the water.So the question remains???? Will a TDS meter detect heavy metals? not identify specific metals but detect them as dissolved solids?
gongggggggg wrong answerthe TDS reading does not only cover beneficial minerals, it also includes any heavy metals that may be the water.
the question remains, who cares?So the question remains???? Will a TDS meter detect heavy metals? not identify specific metals but detect them as dissolved solids?
Mr G does...……Don’t forget to add the cal mag
the question remains, who cares?
Tadaaaaaaa
What About Lead, Arsenic or Chromium 6?
Even though these toxic metals are charged when dissolved in water, a TDS meter does not give meaningful information about their presence or concentration in water. There are two main reasons for this:
To reiterate: Meaningful lead and arsenic measurements cannot be made using a TDS meter (or any other handheld device). They must be measured by trained staff in analytical laboratories that use much more sophisticated scientific equipment.
- A TDS meter is a nonselective measurement and cannot differentiate among different ions. A more sophisticated piece of equipment is needed to perform those types of measurements. The value of 184 that was measured using a TDS meter in a prominent Huffington Post Article was not the lead concentration… it was the water's natural TDS level (which is dominated by minerals like calcium, magnesium, and sodium).
- A TDS meter is not sensitive enough to measure toxic levels of lead, chromium-6, or arsenic, even if they are present in a sample. This is because the reading displayed on an inexpensive TDS meter is in parts per million, while things like lead, chromium-6, and arsenic are toxic at part per billion concentrations (1000 times lower). Using a TDS meter to measure ppb lead concentrations in tap water is like trying to use a car’s odometer to measure a child's height…. It's the wrong tool. For example, the water sample shown on the right hand side of this article's header image has lead levels that are 100x the EPA limit, and the TDS reading teetered between 000 and 001.
What Does a TDS Meter Not Measure?
Because TDS is an aggregate measure of charged compounds in water, uncharged things like motor oil, gasoline, many pharmaceuticals, and pesticides do not contribute to a TDS measurement. For example, the glass on the left in this article's header image contains deionized water with Malathion (an organophosphate pesticide) dissolved into it at 100 times higher concentration than allowed by the EPA for drinking water, and the TDS probe reads 000.
Lmfao....Its on the internet so it must be true!!!gongggggggg wrong answer
Is there any reason why there wud b lead, arsenic or chromium in condenste?
I cant speak as to where the raw materials came from but i can say my dehumidifier and ac r made in usaChina lol... they did accidentally put asbestos in a lot of drywall they sold us.
I ain’t downloading that lolLmfao....Its on the internet so it must be true!!!
I think its first paragraph bottom line
