With a single dip, you can determine the purity of your water — helping you protect health, ensure quality, and save costs on treatment.
What is a TDS Meter?
A TDS meter measures the total dissolved solids in your water, which can include minerals, salts, metals, and organic matter. These dissolved particles affect taste, safety, and suitability for drinking, irrigation, or industrial use.
The reading is given in parts per million (ppm), showing exactly how much material is dissolved in each liter of water.
Why Measure TDS in Uganda?
Uganda’s water sources vary widely — from boreholes in rural areas to treated tap water in Kampala. Some have ideal mineral balance, while others contain excess salts, heavy metals, or contaminants.
High TDS can:
-
Make water taste salty or metallic
-
Damage boilers, pipes, and irrigation systems
-
Harm crops and fish
-
Indicate possible contamination

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I use a TDS meter for seawater?
Yes, but very high readings will be expected due to salt content.
Q2: Does a TDS meter detect bacteria?
No — it measures dissolved solids, not microorganisms. For bacteria testing, other methods are needed.
Q3: Is it waterproof?
Most models are splash-resistant but not fully submersible — avoid immersing beyond the probe section.
