Thank you for choosing the Health Metric 3-in-1 TDS & EC Meter 2.0. This professional measuring device makes testing for total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), and temperature super easy. The following guide gives you a brief overview of what is TDS, how TDS meters work, where can they be used, and how to take care of your TDS meter. -
Page 3: What Is Tds
What is TDS? TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids. It is the measurement of all the dissolved substances in a water sample. These “dissolved solids” are mostly inorganic salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium cations along with chloride, bicarbonate, carbonate, phosphate, sulfate, and nitrate anions. -

Perhaps the water purification system was faulty, or something had contaminated the distilled water. TDS testing is like a watchdog. It will tell you if things are not as they should be. Let’s take a look at all the ways you can use a TDS meter to check water quality. TDS and tap water Tap water contains a variety of minerals and salts like calcium, magnesium, chloride, and potassium. -

TDS and water filters Most water filtration systems have no effect on TDS. That’s because they remove organic compounds and chlorine disinfectants that cause taste and odor problems but aren’t detected by TDS meters. While heavy metals are a health concern and contribute to the TDS, their levels are so low that they hardly impact the TDS level. -

Reverse osmosis (RO) filtration does reduce TDS because it physically removes salts, minerals, and other current-conducting ions from the water. The TDS of RO water should be much lower than the untreated water feeding the RO system. A properly functioning RO system will remove from 70% to 99.9% of the TDS. -

types of drinking water products. Testing the TDS of bottled water is similar to testing tap water. Distilled water will have a TDS of 0. Spring water, purified water, and filtered water, on the other hand, can contain a high level of minerals and salts, which affect the TDS. It is not unusual for bottled water to have a TDS of 100 ppm or higher. -

TDS mode is easier to use. Caring for your Health Metric TDS meter ● Your Health Metric TDS meter should not be submerged underwater. Only the probe section should be immersed in water. ● The TDS meter has two metal probes and a tiny plug on the bottom of the meter. Do not scrub or bend the probes. -
