Hmmm... I'm really not sure. Here's what I do know. ;-)

fresh water < 1500 mg/L TDS
< brackish water < 5000 mg/L TDS < saline water

so you dont use a tds tester at all are they not really worth it

 

[Ms.Fox]

Ok, I just did a bit of research. I'm just not used to saying tds... I usually hear PPM, which is very useful for hydroponic or soil grows. I do not own one, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't. I strictly use distilled water. If you plan on using other water like well or tap water this meter could be useful for you.
