“Budget TDS Meter Review & Water Purity Test | How to Use a TDS Meter at Home”

Описание: In this video we review a budget digital TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter and show how you can test your tap water, RO water, bore‑well water or any drinking water at home.

✅ What we cover:
• Unboxing the TDS meter & first impressions
• How to use it: turning on, dipping in water, reading the value
• Testing different water samples (tap vs filtered vs RO)
• What the TDS readings actually mean (ideal ranges, high/low values)
• Pros & cons of the meter, accuracy, ease of use

⚠️ Important note: A TDS meter shows just the total dissolved solids — it does not tell you exactly what those solids are (minerals vs harmful contaminants). So use it as a quick check, but if you need detailed quality testing, you’ll need more advanced tools. 

📊 Quick reference for drinking water TDS levels:
• Ideal: ~50‑150 ppm
• Acceptable: up to ~500 ppm (depending on standards) 

🔧 Buying guide highlights:
• Look for accuracy (±2‑5%), good display, automatic temperature compensation if possible 
• Features such as auto‑shutdown, protective cap, portability are nice to have 

💡 Tip: Before testing, make sure your meter’s probe is clean, the water sample is at room temperature, and avoid over‑immersing beyond the mark. These small steps help get more reliable readings.
