Recently attended a water quality discussion hosted by Hot Rod. My TDS (total dissolved solids) measurement device doesn't seem to work once the system contains glycol. Is there any way to determine TDS once the system has a glycol mixture?

The table on page 6 shows conductivity. Convert that micro sieman to ppm. Maybe confirm with the brand of glycol you haveBob "hot rod" Rohr

thanks for the reply, I am using dowfrost. I don't understand how you convert microsiemen to ppm. I read that they are related, but I don't see a conversion factor.0
