My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hi!

Is total dissolved solids (tds) the same as water hardness?

I need a test kit for water, and this is all I can seem to find...
