Review on 🌊 Digital Water Tester for TDS and pH Measurement by Rick Everett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

pH meter not calibrated

Just received TDS and pH meter. The TDS meter works fine but the pH meter does not. First I measured tap water with it, showed a pH value of 9.5. This is drinking water, the readings are almost like a Na2CO3 solution! So I calibrated to the standards provided: first pH 9.18, then pH 4.01, then pH 6.86. After calibrating the instrument, I returned to test these calibration standards. The readings were satisfactory for pH 4.01 and pH 6.86 solutions, but for pH 9.18 solutions the readings were 0.00. I then attempted to calibrate the instrument again with this pH 9.18 solution; During this time the meter was not calibrated and the reading was held at 0.00. Can you tell me what's going on? Or have to go back.

Pros
  • Very important tips: Water can be aggressive when the TDS is very low. Corrosive water can leak toxic metals from household plumbing. So the first recommendation would be to test your water and determine the overall quality and chemistry of your water. Do this before drinking or installing a water purification system.
Cons
  • Crumpled
