I looked for an answer online and I couldn’t find any info at all. I’d say you can use a calibration fluid to help figure it out.

What’s the difference between ppm500 and ppm700 scale?

  • The ppm 700 scale is based on measuring the KCl or potassium chloride content of a solution.
  • The ppm 500 is based on measuring the NaCl or sodium chloride content of a solution.
  • The ppm 500 scale is also referred to as TDS - total dissolved solids.

700 scale I believe is usually used out of states countries ect. Usually from what I’ve seen in like Africa Australia ect. They do have them here but usually it’s read on the 500 scale here in states
