5-in-1 Digital pH Meter for Water, Plants, Aquarium and Pool

"The health of our waters is the principal measure of how we live on the land," asserted Luna Leopold, highlighting water as the most critical resource issue of our lifetime and that of our children.

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency's drinking water standard, the acceptable pH range for drinking water is 6.5-8.5, and the total dissolved solids (TDS) should be controlled below 500 mg/L (500 ppm). For non-drinking water sources like spring water and bottled water, the TDS limit is set at 1000 mg/L (1000 ppm).

Why should one measure TDS and pH levels? Naturally, mineral water has no smell or taste, but changes in TDS and pH can alter the texture and taste, rendering the water unfit for consumption. Experiments by scientists have revealed several reasons to monitor these water quality parameters:

Taste: High TDS levels can make the water taste salty and/or bitter. Health Concerns: While high TDS may not drastically impact health, elevated levels of lead or copper can cause illness. Cooking: TDS above 1000 ppm can affect the taste of food.

Ideally, the TDS level for drinking water should fall between 50-500 ppm, with levels below 50 ppm considered high-quality. Water with TDS below 80 ppm is considered soft, 80-160 ppm is hard, and above 300 ppm is very hard.

It's important to note that TDS levels above 1000 ppm are unsafe and unfit for human consumption. Proper pH levels aid in the absorption of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, while acidic water can irritate the gastrointestinal system, potentially causing stomach upset and other health issues.

A multi-functional water quality tester can help ensure the safety of your drinking water. This 5-in-1 pH meter can be used in various water testing situations, including drinking water, water purification, aquaculture, hydroponics, swimming pools, hot spas, and more.

For swimming pools, the ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm, with 3200 ppm being optimal. This salinity tester can help determine if the salt levels in the pool are adequate or not, with a test range of 0-200,000 ppm.

In plant cultivation, TDS and pH play a crucial role in making nutrients soluble and accessible to plants, while also serving as environmental indicators for aquatic organisms. The 5-in-1 pH tester can help gardeners carefully monitor the pH factors vital for plant growth.

Finally, this Aquarium test meter can accurately detect water parameters such as salt and pH levels, enabling aquarium owners to maintain a safe environment for their aquatic pets.
