A TDS, EC Water Quality Tester

This compact and portable take anywhere unit with its own protective case is used to test the value of water electrical conductivity of water to determine the purity of the water.

Having both test water temperature and environment temperature functions this nifty device can be widely used for household, personal, at home or while travelling. It can also be used in a domestic garden to full aquaculture, horticulture or farming as a simple field test for preliminary investigations, point sampling of selected areas and ongoing monitoring activities.

What is TDS? Total Dissolved Solids are the total amount of mobile charged ions, including minerals, salts or metals dissolved in a given volume of water, expressed in units of mg per unit volume of water (mg/L), also referred to as parts per million (ppm).

Why Should You Measure The TDS Level In Your Water? The EPA Secondary Regulations advise a maximum contamination level (MCL) of 500mg/liter (500 parts per million (ppm)) for TDS. Numerous water supplies exceed this level. When TDS levels exceed 1000mg/L it is generally considered unfit for human consumption. A high level of TDS is an indicator of potential concerns, and warrants further investigation.

Most often, high levels of TDS are caused by the presence of potassium, chlorides and sodium. These ions have little or no short-term effects, but toxic ions (lead arsenic, cadmium, nitrate and others) may also be dissolved in the water. Even the best water purification systems on the market require monitoring for TDS to ensure the filters and/or membranes are effectively removing unwanted particles and bacteria from your water.

• ⚡️ THIS CLEVER MULTI FUNCTION WATER TESTER is the perfect quick reference tool to test the quality of water. An easy way to test if the water you drink is safe, or your filtration system is doing its job or if the filters need to be replaced with this handy device.
• ✔️ A TDS CHECKER WITH A COLOUR CODED DISPLAY function that lets you know immediately if the water is ok. GREEN DISPLAY: less than 40ppm is OK for drinking. RED DISPLAY: greater than 40ppm may not be drinking quality, depending if the water is from fresh, bottled sources or tap water, check the scale range on the back of the tester. Includes a backlight display function for low light or night use.
• ✔️ LARGE DIGITAL SCREEN THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO READ, you may still need your glasses if you wear them for reading, at least you won't need to struggle to read the display even with your glasses on like many other TDS meters! No problem if you forget to turn it off, with the Auto Off function this water test checker will automatically turn itself off after 2 minutes to save and extend the battery life.
• ⚡️ FAST QUICK ON THE SPOT RESULTS for easy calibration of total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity whether in the home or in the garden. Suggested tool for household water, fresh water aquariums & aquaculture, ponds, livestock water, horticulture & hydroponics.
• ✔️ THIS DOMESTIC STYLE TDS PEN is perfect for personal use. A TDS Tester Meter with 0-9990 ppm Measurement Range /- 2 Readout Accuracy Electrical Conductivity measurement us/cm. Temperature display Fahrenheit or Celsius with accuracy /- 1 degree. Also includes a nifty HOLD FUNCTION that saves measurements for convenient reading and recording.
