Handheld TDS meter

A large number of salts such as carbonates, bicarbonates, chloride, sulphates, phosphates & nitrates of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron and manganese etc., are found dissolved in natural water. Similarly coastal marine water contains substantial quantity of these salts. A high content of dissolved solids elevates the density of water, influences Osmoregulation of fresh water organism and reduces solubility of gases thereby reducing the utility of water for drinking, irrigation and industrial purposes. Therefore, determination of Total Dissolved solids is one of the important parameters in water analysis.
