TDS meter - we measure the hardness of water from various sources, including natural ones. Xiaomi Water Hardness Tester Review - Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen xiaomi mi tds water quality tester

17.06.2019 Boilers

The famous manufacturer of phones and smart devices Xiaomi is actively releasing useful components for its smart home. The developers claim that for residents of large cities, the xiaomi water tester will become an indispensable gadget, with which you can determine the composition of the water, thus minimizing the ingress harmful substances into the body. Whether the purchase of a xiaomi mi tds pen water quality device will be rational, and what functions the device has, a small review will help to understand xiaomi tester tds.

Design and appearance

The xiaomi water tester is like a double sided marker. In the upper part there is a compartment for batteries, and under the lower cap there are sensors for determining the quality of water. Also, the lower part of the device is used to take the test liquid. Like all Xiaomi products, the device is made in a laconic design, the case is plastic, white color. Gloss gives an image to the device, but all the roughness is visible on it. On the front there is a button to start the device with tds engraving, as well as a small display to show the received data.

What is it needed for

The tester is used to determine the degree of mineralization and quality of water and the content of the following components in it:

  1. heavy metals.
  2. Useful for humans calcium, magnesium and others inorganic salts in the required quantity.
  3. organic ingredients.

The tester measures the salinity of water using the PPM method.

The manufacturer claims that the error is no more than 2% of the result. If the liquid analyzer showed a result of 200 ppm, then millions of water particles contain about 200 harmful substances. This result is very acceptable. In tandem with checking the liquid, you must use a special table for decoding the results:

  • 0-50 ppm - over pure water, such water is called distilled or melted water (the latter shows ppm results up to 50);
  • 50-100 ppm - pure water (passed through the filter);
  • 100-300 ppm - tap water with the initial degree of purification;
  • 300-600 ppm - hard water with an excess of heavy metals and other harmful substances;
  • 600-1000 ppm - water with increased hardness;
  • more than 1000 ppm - unusable liquid.

Interestingly, mineral water with the lowest ppm is very hard to find. Excesses of all kinds of components can lead to high ppm (up to 600).

Such water can be used for prevention, with a lack of salts and minerals in the body, prolonged use of such a liquid can affect health.

Instruction


Tester tds weighs about 38 grams, has very compact dimensions: 150x16x16 mm. To determine the measurement results without large errors, it is necessary to provide the device right conditions work, not minus temperature. The total capacity of two replaceable batteries is 160 mAh.

The mineralization of water is determined by placing the indicator of the device in a container of water. The cap of the tester can be used as this container. After pressing the tds button, after a few seconds, the data will be fixed on the display. If this does not happen, try turning the device on/off or testing in another container with the test liquid. While the device is in the water, it shows the current presence of all kinds of elements in it. If you take it out, the numbers will immediately disappear.

Tester device

Marker or electronic thermometer resembles this compact and practical device. The tester is equipped with two special titanium probes for accuracy and high corrosion resistance.

The mineralization index differs with different temperature conditions the same liquid. The device can determine the degree of heating of the liquid, but the developers decided that it is possible not to display the temperature level on the tester's tds display. If you take hot and cold water from the same source, the difference in water meter readings will be about 50 ppm, with hot water the worst result. The tester demonstrates such a value not because it does not remove the temperature error well.

Ordinary tap water is considered drinking only cold, hot - technical. These are liquids with different mineral composition, so the total number of particles they have is different.

General mineralization of water


With this measuring device for water hardness and its composition, you can also get ahead of the total mineralization of water - tds. This value determines the total amount of solids dissolved in water. Most of this indicator is inorganic compounds.

The review showed how useful it is to use a water tester. A useful device will be not only at home, but also for travelers. It must be remembered that using this device you can get results with errors. Especially when it comes to mineral water. The average cost of the device is about 8 dollars.

General characteristics

Additionally

Check the water quality in your home

We cannot visually determine how pure the water we drink is. At first glance clean clear water may contain various impurities. TDS refers to the total amount of solids dissolved in water. The degree of mineralization to some extent affects the quality of water. The lower the TDS, the lower the concentration of heavy metal ions and soluble salts, and, accordingly, the better quality drinking water.

TDS tester from Xiaomi can accurately determine the degree of mineralization of water. According to World Health Organization (WHO) standards, drinking water should not exceed 600 mg/l TDS. At a mineralization level of 1000 mg/l and above, the taste of water changes.






Timely water quality check in your home

AT different regions and even in different houses water quality may vary. TDS tester from Xiaomi will help you determine the exact content of impurities dissolved in water. You can test both before and after water filtration, thanks to which you can evaluate the quality of the water treatment devices. Typically, low TDS results in low solute content, which means the water is clean and drinkable.



High-precision technologies - the key to high-precision results

Monolithic waterproof housing, low power consumption chip

The use of a TDS tester can significantly affect our water consumption. Responsible and striving for error-free measurements throughout the entire service life, we pay great attention to detail and use high-precision technologies.

The body of the tester is created using injection molding technology, and the measuring probe is made of stainless material (titanium). The device is also equipped with an external sensor for automatic temperature compensation (0 ~ 80°C). The design of the case is limited to the button and display and does not include any holes, which ensures water resistance and prevents the tester from breaking from splashing or water leaking into the case.

To conserve battery power, the TDS tester will automatically turn off if not used for more than two minutes. Two AG13 round batteries are used as a power source, which can be replaced at any time. The device weighs only 27.4g and features a compact ballpoint pen design that makes it easy to carry around.




Instruction: Water Quality Tester



TDS tester is a device used to check the composition of water, namely the content of dissolved solids in it. After filtering the liquid in the RO filter, the solids level can be lowered.

The concept of TDS

TDS is an abbreviation for the content of dissolved solids in water. The indicator assumes the content of substances in milligrams in one liter of water. Unit of measure: mg/l. TDS also indicates the amount of organic elements, large solids and mineral salts.

Tester operation

  • Remove the cap, activate the power key and fill the tester cap 2/3 with the water you want to test;
  • Insert the device into the cap filled with water, shake it gently to remove air bubbles;
  • Wait a few seconds, the screen will display indicators that show the quality of the water being tested.​

Fluid quality values



Important! In the event that TDS values ​​exceed 999, a multiple of x10 is applied.


    The lower the device shows, the less solids are contained in the water, which means that the water is clean and suitable for use.

  • After testing the water, dry the cap of the device, then close the cap of the tester and turn off the power.

Power supply

If the device does not turn on, the display does not show data, it is necessary to replace the batteries. To do this, open the battery pack, remove the used and install new batteries.


Operating rules

  1. Do not expose the device to direct sun rays and precipitation. It is not recommended to leave the tester in rooms where heat and elevated level humidity.
  2. Carry the product carefully, avoid dropping it, which may cause malfunctions.
  3. Water is detrimental to the device.
  4. You should not try to repair breakdowns, change the design or disassemble the tester yourself.
  5. The device is not playable.
  6. Do not dispose of used batteries in fire.
  7. Incorrectly selected batteries (with low power) can adversely affect the performance of the tester. Thus, the determination of soluble solids in water is possible.
  8. The tester is not suitable for measuring water quality with temperatures over 80°C.
  9. The device is not able to accurately determine the quality of water that is not collected in a container. That is, the quality, for example, of water flowing from a tap cannot be determined.

Initially, Xiaomi was engaged in the release of software and smartphones, but very quickly realizing that different kind technology brings excellent profits, moved on to creating devices for the home. In today's review, I propose to consider an interesting contraption - a water tester. Alas, in our time, the possession of such a device can already be considered a necessity for residents of large cities.

What is the Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen for?

A water tester is required to measure the total mineralization of water (TDS indicator - total dissolved solids). This means that thanks to the device, you can find out whether and in what quantity the water contains:

  • heavy metals (lead, chromium, copper, zinc);
  • inorganic salts (magnesium, calcium);
  • organic components (ammonium acetate).
  • The total mineralization of water is measured in parts per million, or PPM (parts per million).

To clarify: if Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen measured 250 ppm for us, then millions of water particles contain 250 particles of unwanted substances. By the way, this is a normal result, relatively safe for the body.

The water analyzer can measure from 0 to 1000+ ppm. To decipher the measurement results, there is a special plate:

  • 0-50 ppm - ultrapure water (possibly distilled);
  • 50-100 ppm - pure (filtered) water;
  • 100-300 ppm - ordinary (tap) water that has undergone initial treatment;
  • 300-600 ppm - hard water;
  • 600-1000 ppm - hard water, unsuitable for drinking, but you won’t get poisoned;
  • more than 1000 ppm is a dangerous liquid.

Who is Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen suitable for?

Find practical use the water analyzer is pretty easy. The most obvious option is to use a tester to check the quality of the filtered water. That is, thanks to Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen, you can replace cartridges in a jug filter or reverse osmosis filter in time.

The fact is that cartridge manufacturers always give instructions when to replace this accessory, but practice (and a tester) shows that sellers care too much about their consumer pockets. Sometimes when using cartridges even twice their expiration date, Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen shows quite normal ppm water values. At the same time, the recommendations of filter manufacturers are clear: the more often you replace cartridges, the more money will fall into their accounts.

You can check ordinary tap water and open water with Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen. In any case, the manufacturer positions the device as universal. But it is worth considering that if the water from the water supply initially undergoes some kind of purification and is conditionally considered drinking, then life-giving moisture from wells, rivers, lakes and other sources may contain a bunch of organic and inorganic substances, bacteria, impurities that will not be determined by the analyzer. As a result, the tester will show you good result but the water will be undrinkable. For this reason, it is unfortunately impossible to consider Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen as a universal device.

Why and who else needs a water test with a device:

  • those who live in areas with very hard water, the consumption of which leads to the formation of kidney and bladder stones;
  • before pouring it into the iron;
  • aquarists to add fish only correct water, purified from hardness salts.

Water tester device

Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen resembles an ordinary electronic thermometer, which is closed with caps on both sides. On the one hand, LR44 batteries are inserted into the device (they are included in the kit), and on the other, there are 2 special titanium probes. Titanium provides anti-corrosion resistance of the device and high precision measurements.

The analyzer turns on with one single button, and it turns off with it. For analysis, you just need to lower the device into a container of water with the side where the probe is located. The display placed on the side of the Mi TDS Pen will show the measurement result.

The device can be calibrated, they say that it is very easy and simple to do this. It seems to me that there is still a difficulty in this matter - the question remains, where to get the standard for calibration. The only thing that comes to my mind is water for injection from a pharmacy, it is by default ultra-pure, distilled, and therefore quite suitable for our purposes.

As you know, water temperature always affects the error in determining the mineralization index. To take into account this parameter, the analyzer can measure the degree of heating of the liquid. True, for some reason, manufacturers decided that users do not need to measure the water temperature, because the tester does not display it on the display, but simply “takes it into account”.

To keep you informed, I will give another example: if you take hot and cold water from the same faucet in the same apartment, the difference in the tester readings will be approximately 50-60 ppm. Naturally, hot water will show the worst result.

Most likely, the problem is not that Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen does not remove the temperature error well. Two pipes come to the tap - one with cold (drinking) water, and the second with hot (usually considered technical). In fact, we are talking about liquids with different mineral composition. It is not surprising that the device will show us different TDS values.

By the way, water after reverse osmosis filters shows the content of harmful substances in the region of 20-30 ppm. After filter jugs, water has a TDS of approximately 150-170 ppm (this is a normal value). Mineral water usually shows up to 300 ppm, but it is also mineral, because sometimes you need to use salts that are useful for the body.

Everything is cool in this device, but still it is far from being perfect. For those who want to carry out quality control of filtered water, Xiaomi Mi TDS Pen is suitable. First you need to measure the mineral-salt composition of water before filtration, then after. If the value has changed at least 8-10 times, then everything is fine and the cartridge does not need to be replaced.

Let's discuss what you think about the water tester, how necessary it is, and whether you think it makes sense. Write in the comments.

P.S. I would enthusiastically rush to buy another nitrate meter if the Chinese released it, but such that without error ... I have been dreaming for a long time, but so far to no avail.
