@macky just been on water board site, I don’t know whether this is the right thing I’m looking for. 
my water is supplied by a lake if that makes any difference 
the pic shows, minimum, average, max and units.

Hey    something doesnt seem right there    so when you put your meter in the calibration solution it gives the correct reading?  For example my calibration fluid is 1000ppm   Not many water sources are 0.00  my r.o water comes off at 50 ppm

 @old-hippie so when I put the meter in the solution it comes up with 2.8 which is perfect with the solution. I’m thinking will have to try calibration again n see if I get the same outcome. 😫

@woodi2 I bought an essentials ec meter and got vitalink essentials calibration fluid. 
just tried calibration again. Meter Calibrated to 2.8 as of solution, gave a good clean then tested tap water and still getting 0.00. 
I feel that’s something is still not quite right.  Driving me mad 😩

I use 1.413 ec cal sol. That puts me in the 500 PPM range for the US. Yours is poss 2.8 something and that will put you in the 700PPM range for the UK. I think this is right.

but that doesn't solve your problem.  Put 10ml cal/mag in a liter, and read it.
