Tech Review || MI Water TDS Tester

Water is often called the source of life because no living organism can survive without water. Water makes up about 60% of our bodies. We can’t live for a few days without water, and it’s an essential part of ecosystems. We depend on water, to be precise, fresh water. Every day we use tap water, bottled water, boiled water, reservoir water or filtered water for many purposes like drinking, cooking, bathing, washing utensils and so on. Our garden plants, pet animals and fishes on the aquarium are also surviving on water.

You can’t find out the purity of water with naked eyes. Seemingly clean and crystal clear water may contain many impurities including harmful chemical substances. But thanks to “MI Water TDS Tester,” a small and easy to operate device that can help you test the quality and purity of water within a few seconds, without hassle. TDS is the short form of Total Dissolved Solids in liquids. TDS value represents the total soluble solids content of the water; it can reflect the water quality to a certain extent. Generally, the lower TDS value will indicate less water-soluble salts of heavy metals.

Solvents detected through TDS water tester:

• Soluble Salts (calcium and magnesium ions)
• Ionic Organic (ammonium acetate, sodium etc.)
• Heavy Metal lons (chromium, zinc, lead and copper)

TDS value is measured in “parts per million (ppm)” or “mg/L.” According to the World Health Organization (WHO), TDS values below 600 are generally considered good quality water or appropriate for drinking. TDS value greater than 900 means there is a significant change in the taste of drinking water which is in poor quality. When TDS value is above 1200, you should avoid this water for drinking or cooking usages.

Below is the chart of World Health Organization (WHO) recommended TDS values:

With MI Water TDS Tester, you can effortlessly test the TDS value of your water before drinking or using it in cooking or pouring in your aquarium.

I have bought this MI Water TDS Tester from an online shop at a price of Taka 590 (USD 7) and got delivery within a few days.

Tap Water vs Purified Water (Test result):

I have tested tap water and Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtered water with my MI Water TDS Tester. Tap water has TDS value 439 which means it’s quality is good. On the other hand, TDS value of Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtered water shows 36 which means it’s quality is excellent and safe for drinking.
