Which TDS Meter?

[Lee Sweeting]

Hi! I'm just in the process of starting up my first low tech CRS tank. I've been looking at various TDS meters, all with varying prices. Can anyone suggest a good tried and tested TDS meter that won't break the bank?

Thanks,

Lee.

I use one like this - Digital TDS3 TEMP PPM TDS Meter Tester Filter Pen Stick Water Quality Purity UK | eBay

I have to admit Andy, i've been a bit dubious about buying one off ebay. How have you got on with yours? Has it been accurate? I did expect to pay more than a £5.

Thanks,

Lee.

I use this one, from this exact seller.
And can't fault It whatsoever.

Apart from that the leather pouch is NOT husky proof. Mine chewed holes in it

It seems fine to me. I cannot vouch for its accuracy 100% as there is probably a more accurate way to calibrate it but it measures my RO/DI water at 000 TDS as I wood expect and I get the results I expect when mixing tap and RO so I am happy with it.

Haha! Cheers Nath. A lot of people seem to be using that model, It's reasonably priced too. I think i might give it a go.

thanks again.

Thanks for the info Andy, much appreciated.
