It allows you to stay on top of your drinking water quality at all times! with the push of a button, the tds meter can tell you your overall water purity level, which will be displayed on the screen measured in parts per million (ppm). the lower the number showing on the tds meter means the purer the water quality, with 0 ppm being perfect and pure water. The tds meter is a great tool for water filtration, water purification and drinking water. It is also great for checking your tap water quality, or knowing when to change your filters for your water filter systems.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
All of them showed readings from what I expected to receive. My friends have used it too and they are now getting reverse osmosis installed as well.
For fun I tested hot and cold, expecting the same results, but to my surprise, they were markedly different. I was initially confused as to how my hot water (104.2 degrees) would read 109 and my cold water (64.4 degrees) read 62, but figured out it was in fact due to the difference in temperature and nothing else. After setting a glass of each on the counter and letting them both equalize to room temp, they bold read 68 TDS.
I would venture a guess that the increased temp makes the ions move more quickly, causing the meter to miss read the levels. I would like to know what temp is ideal for the most accurate reading, but, at least I do know you can make an apples to apples comparison if the temps are the same.
Also, did some testing on my standard Brita filter. Tap water was 68, one pass 28, second 19, third 14, fourth 12, fifth 12 again, sixth... you guessed it, 12 again. Thought it was interesting, and maybe someone else will as well.
Easy to use, easy to read, and as far as I can tell it seems to be accurate but lack the instrumentation to verify that. I just know it read levels out as expected (numbers went down with filtration each time) and that was good enough for me!
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm very glad to be able to test my water and see that my city tap water is just this side of too many contaminants (415), but my reverse osmosis water brings that down to only 18 -- a very good score! I'll be testing it out on bottled water and various types of pitcher filters as I can, just to compare. One note: the photos show a nice little chart of what the reading means, but no such chart is included! I had to print the one from the listing, cut it out and tuck it into the tester sheath.
