Questions & Answers
It measures the particles in the water, which are called parts per million, and the acidity of the water, which is measured by a ph meter. Accordingly, in hydroponics you should have a pH value of The numbers 5 and 6 are given below. The tds will tell you how much nutrients you are using in the water. I like no less than 1200 parts per million of nutrients in the water.
Take your result and multiply it
As long as the condition of normal use remains intact, you are covered for one year. In both instances, if your purchase date falls within a year of the failure, we will send you a new one.
The specifics are not known. A breakdown of readings is not provided. When you put the device in water, it gives you a number that shows how much total dissolved solids there are. A reading between 10 and 2 is the result when I place it in bottled water. My device gives me a reading of between 800 and 1200 when I place it in a glass of city water.

The kit we are experimenting with has a small hydroponic system and we wanted to measure the amount Meters like this one work well and provide quick readings of the electrical conductivity (EC) of It is unclear how long the battery will last, but for my use it may last for days, since it is only used infrequently and measuring only takes a few seconds. If your purposes require you to measure total dissolved solids (TDS) values, you just need to multiply EC by 500 (easy to do mentally by multiplying by 1000 and then dividing by 2).
It seems to change numbers depending on how long you leave it in water, which I don't understand. Therefore, since I don't understand everything about this, I feel like I cannot place too much blame on the product. There is a need for backlighting.
Its accuracy and usefulness make it a very useful meter for me. With this pH meter, you will get the most value for your money. It is a good product.
I recommend it. In the aftermath of the second eleventh, I have had to recalibrate my meter after three years of use. This was the last of two calibration powders they provided (I had already used the first when I first used it). Everything worked as it should have, and the meter is now accurate again. When the meter is changing levels while you are in the water, you can tell it's messed up. It would be great to have another as a backup, but they haven't If I were to buy it again, I would definitely do so!.
PPM is the only thing tested here. EC and EC are not the same thing. PPM as well as EC play a role in EC. Due to the nature of this meter, we cannot convert PPM to EC precisely. Only the PPM and temperature can be measured on this meter it does not have an EC mode. It is important for the seller to update the description to remove any claims this is an EC meter. For an explanation of the differences between EC and PPM, complete a quick internet search on "EC vs PPM".
The company's nbsp The TDS meter caught my attention and I posted a review on my youtube channel at Robb's Homemade Life. However, the TDS readings appeared reliable and consistent even with the extremely slow thermometer. To test and optimize my Brita water filter, I used the meter.
When I used it, I handled it carefully. After that, I hung it up. There is still a difference in reading between the old and new versions. Off by one. Getting locked out on my next medical grow will mean an end to City Farmer for me! It will never be my pleasure to do business with you In an email I sent to them, I asked if they had calibration solution I could order, but I never heard back. I do calibrate both times to the same direction!.
As long as you use it properly and take care of it, it will be quite good as long as you follow the instructions and store it in a case with instructions for use. Make sure you calibrate it correctly and dry it off after each use, as it can become damaged if not.
The idroponic solutions are kept within her margins as expected.
