iSpring TDS 3-Button Digital Water Quality Test Meter with Temperature Test Function

So this little baby let us know that the new home we bought has a refrigerator with the water dispenser/ice cube maker hooked up to a water source that comes from the softener! Seriously. What contractor does that? The prior occupant was an older lady who probably has sky high blood pressure drinking softened/salted cold water and ice cubes from the frig. That is so sad. The frig filter cannot filter out all the salt. It tested around 750 ppm. 200 less than outdoor faucet water. If it had non siftened water and a new frig water filter it should have tested under 100. Unfiltered tap water from the kitchen sink that isn't hooked up to a softened water source tested at 750 ppm. Water from the sink side reverse osmosis tested at 50 ppm. Distilled water (just for fun to see if the unit is anywhere close to accurate) was zero. Yay! The case is handy and it will ensure the cap for the unit won't get lost. The digital readout could be a bit clearer to read, but no real complaint enough to take away a star. The unit clearly warns that it is not water proof and to only submerge it up to 2 inches. We use the cap to hold the water for testing and then that ensures the unit won't get damaged.

I have used this test meter for many years and it is still working well. It is well made and when comparing it to other ppm meters it seems very accurate. All the ispring products I have used are outstanding quality. If you ever do have a question about installation or an issue with any product you purchased from them they are there to help! There costumer service is the best I have ever seen! Sean has helped me trouble shoot and also offered quick and easy assistance with parts and filters even when my system was no longer in warranty. You will not find a better customer service department anywhere!!

I think it does the job in general but if you need more information on your water, you need to get somthing else. The first time I used it , it gave me different readings on the same water so I need to figure out how to use it..,

Customer service was excellent. I had an issue with my meter, and Nick took care of it immediately. Not only was I able to have a real conversation with an actual person instead of an AI system, but I also received a follow-up email to make sure everything had been fully resolved. In a world where it's becoming increasingly difficult to reach a live person, this company truly values its customers.

This iSpring TDS3 TDS Meter is worthless. I tested the water from my fridge water supply before adding a new filter a total of 5 times, for an average of 130 PPM. I knew the old filter was long past needing replacing as I had installed it new in September 2010. So this morning I replaced the old filter with a filter that is supposed to filter out even a higher level of degree contaminants than the old filter. Both filters are Whirlpool PUR high end filters not the cheap knocks offs that don't work. For those interested the old filter part number is 4396508 the new filter number is 4396510. The difference in the 08 and the 10 is as I mentioned the 10 filters out higher contaminants, in other words it's a premium filter. The brand new 4396510 after running 3 gals of water thought it till the water ran clear as the instructions said to do reads from the TDS Meter from an average of 5 different reads 135, that's 5 PPM higher than the old worn out water filter. According to the iSpring TDS Meter I can go back and install my old filter since it's working way better than the new filter I paid a lot of money for. I also tested the tap water right out of the tap from my kitchen sink, the tap water is so nasty you can actually see things floating around in it with the naked eye and it read 137 PPM. Needless to say this iSpring TDS3 TDS Meter will be going back as it's a dud.

I bought this Hardness Test Meter when I purchased my iSpring RCC7 system. It works great and is a must have for an RO system. This unit is still working fine for the last 8 years, I'll probably have to replace the battery one of these days. I really appreciate iSpring's quality and pricing.

Excellent customer service. Answered my question with expertise. Product was exactly as advertised.

Item worked fine after I replaced the dead batteries that were in it when I received it new.

Très simple à utiliser

Well made. Good value for money. Would recommend. A+++++

Our well water tests anywhere from 700-800 TDS. This can vary from samples taken a minute after another. I am not sure how normal this is for samples to fluctuate on the same line this way but in comparison to testing the filtered water samples from my RO faucet I have to say it seems the tester seems pretty accurate. My filtered water samples read steadily from 21-22 TDS. Store bought cooler water reads at 11 TDS from spigot. I'm giving this item a 5 star review because I have no reason to believe it isn't operating as designed to despite large fluctuations in close water samples from tap. I think as well water sits in lines there is more TDS, the longer I run lines before I take the sample the lower the TDS number readings are. This is consistent.

Good TDS meter to have at hime... value for money...
