About This Product
Environmental science classes dip the meter into tap, river, pond or bottled water to compare dissolved mineral content, and hydroponics projects use it to check nutrient solutions. Seeing TDS and EC side by side helps students connect conductivity with the amount of dissolved salt.
Frequently Asked Questions
What units does the TDS/EC meter display?
TDS in parts per million (ppm), EC in microsiemens per centimetre (µS/cm), and temperature in °C or °F.
Can the water testing meter be re-calibrated?
Yes. It is factory-calibrated and can be re-calibrated manually against standard solutions.
