What it is, and who it is for.

TDS Pen Water Tester

A TDS pen is an inexpensive handheld digital meter that measures total dissolved solids (in ppm) to gauge overall water quality and mineral content. It is essential for monitoring RO/DI filter output, checking tap water, and tracking nutrient or remineralizer levels in planted and shrimp tanks. Pocket-sized with an LCD readout, most models read 0-9990 ppm with automatic temperature compensation; the representative unit shown is the HM Digital TDS pen.

QUESTIONS 07

Asked before checkout

The questions our support inbox actually gets.

Does it ship quickly?+

Orders placed before 2 PM ET on a business day leave the same day. Tracking is emailed the moment the label prints.

What if it's the wrong fit for my tank?+

Return it. 30 days, no restocking fee, refund to the original payment method. Better: tell us your tank first and we'll spec the system for free — half of all returns are sizing problems.

Who handles the warranty?+

We do. Everything carries the manufacturer's warranty and we run the claim for you — one email to us instead of a ticket queue.
