Which TDS meter should I buy?

aiq25 · 02/15/2015, 08:08 PM

Currently I'm looking to buy either the HM Digital TDS-4TM or the HM Digital TDS-EZ meter. The 4TM has a accuracy of of +/- 2%. Or I could get the HM Digital TDS-4 meter with accuracy of +/- 2% as well. The TDS-EZ has a accuracy of +/- 3%. I'm assuming the 1% more accuracy might be worth it.

I would like to place the order tonight, so any help/advice would be appreciated.

The EZ reads in increments of 10 ppm - and doesn't have automatic temperature compensation.

So of the two I'd skip the EZ

Just ordered the TDS-4 meter. I'm planning on ordering a new RO/DI filter from BRS, I will also get the inline TDS meter, seems like a lot of people recommend that. I just wanted to get this one because I want to test my tap water and see how bad it is.

Just got the TDS-4 meter last week. It seems well built and seems to be working good (getting consistent numbers at least). I would recommend this.
