Tds

[the_hadleys]

Is there a meter that we can buy to check the TDS level in our water? We just got a RO/DI unit and I Have it making water into a 44g storage tank. I am getting ready to use that water for my new 120g build. Just wondering if the TDS level was low enough to use it.
Thanks

Yes, you can buy an inline one with one or two meters.
Two meters check input and output water, so you know when to change the media.
Or you can buy hand held kind, but then you have to remember where you put it
If you google tds meter, you can find them.

If you buy RO/DI unit from airwaterice . com they send you one for free with your unit. It was a nice suprise when I got it. I think they still do that anyway.
