Buy a TDS meter locally?

marcelft · 12/02/2008, 08:10 PM

I thought I read some where here that someone bought a TDS meter at a Wallgreens, or some common store?

The one I have is a light blue color. It was in a clamshell package on a peg hook. Easy to miss.

yeah thats the way i found it earlier this year. It fell in salt water like 2 months ago so i went looking again at CVS and walgreens and noticed that they are only selling them as part of a package with a water pitcher water filter thing. If anyone finds where they are still sold seperately id like to know!

nivram did you find it recently like this or was it a while ago?

This was about 4 or 5 months ago.
