Handheld Meter

[Jaquesdp]

Afternoon , I got a handheld meter but bit confused how to read haha

Saltwater is in PPM
Saltwater 0.00 %

What would values be ?

SG = 1.026
PPT = 35
Conductivity = 53

Are you sure its PPM and not PPT?

What meter is this? maker?

Can you provide a photo or link to the product? I'm not quite understanding the question. correct ppm reading would be 35

if it's truly ppm, the value you want is 0.000035 - usually it's tested in ppt which would be 35. Did you try it with some properly mixed saltwater or calibration fluid?

I found the error lol

When its 0 it reads PPM but as soon as dips into water it goes to 30 PPT sorry for dumb mistake
