The high quality, durable TDS-EZ is a handheld water quality tester that measure TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) levels to assess the water quality and performance of filters. The TDS-EZ meter comes in a durable housing and a portable small design that allows it be convenient to use and carry in you pocket or toolbox

Feature of the TDS-EZ:

  • Highly efficient and accurate due to its advanced microprocessor technology.
  • Hold Function: saves measurements for convenient reading and recording.
  • Auto-off function: the meter shuts off automatically after 10 minutes of non-use to conserve batteries.
  • Display: large and easy-to-read LCD screen.
  •  Includes a TDS chart sticker on the back of the meter that explains TDS values.
  • Factory Calibrated with a 342 ppm NaCl solution (Meter can be re-calibrated with a mini-screwdriver).
  • Ideal for commercial use and residential use.

Applications:

  • Drinking Water
  • Water Filter Checks
  • Aquariums
  • Food & Beverage
  • Hydroponics

Usage Instructions & Precautions

Taking Measurements:

  • Remove the protective cap.
  • Turn the TDS meter on. The ON/OFF switch is located on the panel.
  • Immerse the meter into the water/solution up to the max. immersion level (2″).
  • Lightly stir the meter to dislodge any air bubbles.
  • Wait until the display stabiliser. Once the reading stabilises (approximately 10 seconds), press the HOLD button to view the reading out of the water.
  • If the meter displays a flashing “x10” symbol, multiply the reading by 10.
  • After usage, shake off any excess water from your meter. Replace the cap.

Changing the Batteries:

  • Remove the battery compartment.
  • Install new batteries (model 357A or L1154). Be sure the batteries are properly aligned.
  • Replace the battery compartment. The meter will turn on automatically.

Precautions:

  • The meter is not water-tight. Do not dip the meter beyond the water level limit.
  • Do not store the meter in high temperatures or direct sunlight.

What Are Total Dissolved Solids?

  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) are the total amount of mobile charged ions, including minerals, salts or metals dissolved in a given volume of water.
  • TDS, which is based on conductivity, is expressed in part per million (ppm). TDS includes any conductive inorganic elements present other than the pure water molecules (H2O) and suspended solids (any particles/substances that are neither dissolved nor settled in the water, such as wood pulp)
  • TDS affects everything that consumes, lives in or uses water, from fish and plants to plumbing and laboratories.
  • For people, the lower the TDS level in the water you drink, the more efficiently your body’s cells are hydrated. The higher the TDS level in water, the greater the probability of harmful contaminants that can pose health risks or hinder the absorption of water in the body.
