Product description: Grove - TDS sensor/meter for measuring water quality - Seeedstudio 101020753
TDS meter that allows you to determine the purity of water based on the measurement of dissolved organic and inorganic compounds in the liquid . The measuring range of the sensor is from 0 ppm to 1000 ppm , with the higher the ppm value, the greater the water contamination. The module is used in areas such as home water filters, hydroponics, aquaristics and others related to water quality testing.
Arduino compatible product!

Grove - TDS sensor/meter for measuring water quality - Seeedstudio 101020753.
The TDS water quality meter has three mounting holes.
Special features of the module
- Analog signal, high accuracy measurement: TDS measurement range is from 0 ppm to 1000 ppm.
- Waterproof TDS probe: does not corrode and increases module life.
- Universal Grove Socket: Allows "Plug and Play" connection, thanks to which the module can be used versatile in a variety of projects.
- Adaptability: the module can also be used with Raspberry Pi boards - just use the ADS1115 4-channel 16-bit ADC for Raspberry Pi.
Suggested use
- Well water quality monitoring
- Widely understood hydroponics
- Evaluation of water quality in the aquarium and swimming pool
- TDS meter / TDS tester
Attention!
- The TDS probe cannot be used in water above 70°C.
- The sensor cannot be used to measure flowing water.
- The sensor cannot be used to measure water with a high concentration of impurities.
- The Grove sensor itself is not waterproof.
What is TDS?
TDS, or Total Dissolved Solids, is a measure that determines the dissolved content of all inorganic and organic substances present in water. Typically, the higher the TDS value, the more solutes there are in the water. This means that the water has more impurities that can be harmful and pose a potential health risk.
