Put it on the lowest resistance setting if you have a few but a lot of meters only have one. If you have any problems, send me a picture of the meter. Make sure when you are taking a reading that you are not also touching the contact points of the meter leads or the anode and hws system otherwise you are measuring your body's resistance as well

OK i put it on 2000 ohms setting placed the negative probe on the back of the anode and the positive probe on the socket the anode plugs into.
At first it was reading 001 then i scratch the probes a bit to get a better connection it went to 000 i think i have done it correctly whats your thoughts?
Thanks for your help
