EC is a better reading them PPM.
PPM can be used on a 500/640/700 scale meaning that 500ppm or 640ppm or 700ppm can all equal 1EC.
1EC is always 1EC no mater the meter.
its simple to use plug it in the nutrient solution and hit read.
can also be used to read runoff water of pot if you water till runoff.
Its great as a diagnostic tool to confirm numbers and make sure it not to weak or strong.
The device should come with a manual but also youtube has some good how to videos.
Best Of Luck!

How to make stronger smell and flavour in DWC grows?Hi guys. Just harvested my second ever harvest, and 2nd time with DWC. Using HPS, then CMH for last 2 weeks
I'm really happy with buds, but the smell is a little less intense that I would like.
I have used Cannaboost, which is supposed to increase flavour but I want more! :)Setup. Lighting
