Questions & Answers

How does this work? What kind of batteries does it ?

I need the battery for the 303/357 In the following, you will find some SR44. This model 357A features silver oxide capacity of 190 mAh

Is there a recommended flow rate and a maximum flow rate? Does PSI matter?

This is what HM Digital has to say The maximum pressure rating is 232 PSI (16 bar) at room temperature (25C/77F), but no recommended flow rate is provided.

In what ways are fittings in contact with water used? Do they meet NSF standards. There will usually be a printed part if that is the case. ?

It is an NSF fitting.

Could it be dropped into a 5 gallon bucket of DWC water and left in there so that ppm's could be measured every time the power is turned on (since the wire is in water)?

The probe should not be fully submerged in liquid, only the part up to the threads should be submerged. You could probably use a conformant coating or silicone to seal the wire end, but be sure not to get any on the The probe can indeed be used in deep water or reservoirs, but some type of consistent flow in the area of the probe is necessary. In order to create a consistent reading! I am tired. You naysayers, please think before you post inaccurate advice. B for example, you can use a basic bubbler solution for agitating. *Make sure that the probe is located in a safe place, far from bubbles. The bubbles will influence the *br>I have also used these in tanks without agitation, and they work well. It is obvious that the general area will only be read. As a general rule this will provide a good read for on the fly observations of nutrient solutions however, the accuracy will still need to be verified against a true measurement. *br>TLDR Don't depend on this measurement device as your only reference for hydro. Use it as a guide, check periodically against a REAL meter or test, and try to keep bubbles out of the meter so it doesn't read the wrong water level.

As far as I can tell, the TDS monitor works well
3/5

The two of us. I have updated After 30 months, the unit is still functional. As of now, this TDS monitor seems to operate as expected. The pulley system was installed in a pulley system Our Reverse Osmosis system is located in this drawer. To monitor the final amount of dissolved solids, we can measure it when the water is entering the system and again when all the filters have been removed. In our case, we wanted to keep track of how well our filtration system is working. The downside to this product is that the "T" connectors to the battery are extremely tight fitting, causing difficulty during assembly (I had to replace one of the "T" connectors because it broke during assembly), and that there is no information in the directions on how to change Does it have a shelf life? This version of the DM-series is designed for digital cameras. There are 1 i- TDS line dual monitor, from 0 to 100 Range 9990 to 10990 ppm, plus or minus The accuracy of the readout is 2%.

It has been almost 3 weeks since I started using it and it is still working
5/5

As far as I am concerned, this is very In order to test my RO system, I bought a reverse osmosis system and installed both the meter and the system simultaneously. Before I installed the TDS, I tested a cup of water directly by placing the prongs into the cup. A reading of 144ppm was obtained. As soon as I hooked up the system again, I reviewed the incoming and found it to be exactly 144ppm. Initially, I had 30ppm outgoing, but since the Osmosis system was still quite new, I had to run it through multiple times on that day, and it slowly dropped down to 6ppm during that time span. We have been using this system daily for several days now and it reports 12ppm, and has stayed about the same plus or minus 1ppm for a while. Many of you who read this and have done some research on TDS will say that there is no reason to buy a Reverse Osmosis system with 144ppm of testing, but I wanted to ensure that over 99% of the toxins were being removed from our well water. My water softener plays a very large role in determining the TDS reading in my water due to the fact that I have 3 charcoal filters before I reach.

I was surprised at how well it worked
5/5

I tested the meter on some well water and Brita filtered water right away when I received it. I compared those numbers to those from my reverse osmosis (sistern) filtration system. But then I put it on my reverse osmosis rain water system and the results seemed much more accurate. A dramatic drop in readings was observed. As far as I was concerned, they were completely After using the unit for the first time, I thought it had a problem. A hand-held unit was purchased from a different Similar readings were produced by both meters, but they were not identical. The sistern water readings (rainwater from the asphalt shingles roof) were significantly lower than those from the well, as water from the reverse osmosis filter is nearly pure. Bottled water is similar to this. There is a lot of value in this meter.

I was satisfied with its performance over the past five We waited 5 months for the meter to work, then it wouldn't turn on, 2 emails, 3 phone calls, and a week to hear back from the manufacturer, and were just given an address to return it Even though I hadn't heard back from them, I had already purchased a hand held unit and have not sent it in

Here's another direct readout that will let you know what your RO drinking water PPM levels are
5/5

It is also the In 18 months, I installed the first RO water purification system in our house. I am extremely pleased. I was pleased with the purity of the The route was routed two times. The 1/4 inch water line is pure water. It is one of our Sam Sung refrigerators. There is water in the house. A and B There were crushed ice cubes. Alternatively, you can write the whole thing. This is the second edition. On the rim of the kit sink is a single lever pure water faucet. I began to wonder about the reliability of the RO process over time. An electronic PPM that can be carried around. An instrument used for measuring ( parts per million ) concentrations. It is a pure test. I found it to be a very good tool. Readings that are simple and straightforward. This is inline PPM water that I noticed. The Testor. A sensor and a camera. Reading from a LCD display. The size of a miniature.

I am talking about the A T fitting is all that's needed to insert into a hose. It is contained. The wiring is pre-wired in both. There are approximately 2. 5 feet of electrical wire attached to the device. The back of the case has a pair of Velcro pads. You can read the display by sticking it on. You can put raw water in here.

Just a quick one. A button that turns off the computer. The auto turn off feature is also available. I say hay. Let's have a look at this little read-out. I love how it works. It's a given. This is a 5 star rating. To monitor the purity of your RO water, this product is a must-have.

Readings jump from 0 to 220 at the end of two years
3/5

Initially it seemed like it was going okay, but I noticed that my reading for TDS of my purified water was over 200, so I watched for a while and it jumped up and This is pointless. The water was tested directly with my handy TDS meter, and it returned a low reading of 0 as predicted. I see no point in paying for a meter that makes up numbers at any given time. You might as well make use of It seems that I'm going to stick with my hand-testing unit, which always works for me. If you cannot trust the readings of an inline meter, then it is not worth the hassle to have one.

There are missing parts and time is running out
3/5

#1 Edit As a result of no communication, yesterday I returned the product for a refund and today, I received a set of T connectors. Is it because they are occupying all of our time?

The two key T adapters were missing. In this case, the product is not ready for use. It appears that batteries are installed and the main board reads zero, so that is a good sign. Send over missing parts. Ordered seller to do so. I don't think I'll be optimistic in the long run. They used UPS, and that wasn't good either. The item was nearly stolen! If you would please acknowledge my change in rating speedily, I will be waiting for your reply.

The random number generator generates numbers at random
3/5

In spite of the fact that this device claims automatic temperature compensation (ATC), there is a difference of about 60ppm between cold tap water and the same tap water after it has warmed up to room temperature (68 degrees Fahrenheit). Due to the fact that this is not a handheld device and it is always pulling water directly from the tap, it should be perfectly fine to measure input and output in an RO system. It is however important to recognize that these numbers will vary throughout the year because the temperature of the tap water varies.
