[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 200792, member: 17713"] THere has been other postings about diferent readings on different meters. Meters are allowed to vary within certain tolerances......just like petrol pumps at a filling station.....you may or not be aware that when you buy a litre or petrol-you can be getting variances to that...petrol stations are allowed to give less or more within certain tolerances legally....the minute they go over these tolerances in either direction then Trading Standards can go down hard on the pertrol retailers....petrol pumps also wear and tear with their parts, so that is why they are tested by TStandards so regularly.... Our meters have the same sort of concept with tolerances...however, they are meant as an indication of levels....not necessarily the exact, precise levels....meters all have to come within tolerances...I too was shocked when I realised this..but now have come to accept that they are an indication...so when my levels say they are 4.1...I believe that they could possibly be lower....which would definitely be hypo....
