The EC/TDS Dist6 pocket tester enables you to monitor the conductivity (EC), TDS and temperature simultaneously. The EC, TDS and temperatures values can all be displayed at the same time.
TDS stands for total dissolved solids (i.e., the total amount of dissolved salts in a solution). The total amount of nutrient salts present in the irrigation water influences the capability of the roots to absorb nutrients. It also has a enduring effect on plant growth. For these reasons, it is important to check the TDS content regularly.
The TDS value is closely related to the conductivity value and is also an indication of water hardness. The EC/TDS pocket tester features a swappable probe, adjustable TDS factor, selectable temperature coefficient (ß), a battery-change display, a stability indicator, automatic shut-off, automatic temperature compensation, a water-proof housing and a HOLD function for freezing measured values.
