HM Digital TDS-3 TDS Temp Meter with Case
Monitoring water quality is essential for successful cultivation, yet many growers struggle with inconsistent readings that lead to nutrient imbalances. The **HM Digital TDS-3 TDS Temp Meter** provides a professional-grade solution in a portable, pen-sized design. By accurately measuring Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and temperature, this meter allows you to maintain the perfect environment for your plants, ensuring they receive exactly what they need for vigorous growth.
Built for reliability and ease of use, the TDS-3 is a staple for water purification, hydroponics, and home gardening. For growers who need to monitor more than just TDS, this device pairs perfectly with other HM Digital tools. If your setup requires multi-parameter testing, consider the HM Digital Pro COM-300 pH TDS EC Temp Meter or the HM Digital Hydromaster HM200 Portable - pH TDS EC Temp Meter for comprehensive nutrient management.
This durable meter features Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) to ensure accuracy regardless of water temperature. With its long-lasting battery life and included carrying case, the TDS-3 is designed to be the most dependable tool in your grow room for years to come.

FAQs
The TDS-3 is factory calibrated but can be manually adjusted. Use a 342 ppm NaCl solution and a small screwdriver to turn the calibration trimmer located in the hole on the back of the meter until the display matches the solution value.
While the TDS-3 displays readings in ppm (Total Dissolved Solids), it calculates this value based on the electrical conductivity of the water. For direct EC readings, we recommend the HM Digital COM-80.
The TDS-3 is water-resistant, meaning it can handle splashes, but it should not be fully submerged in liquid beyond the maximum immersion level.
When the TDS reading exceeds 999 ppm, a 'x10' icon will appear on the LCD. Multiply the displayed number by 10 to get the actual ppm value.
With a battery life of approximately 1000 hours, most users will only need to replace the two LR44 batteries once every year or two, depending on frequency of use.
