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.
