Working Principle

Description

The Grove TDS Sensor measures the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in water, which indicates the quality of the water. It detects the amount of dissolved inorganic and organic substances. The sensor outputs an analog signal proportional to the TDS level, which can be read by an Arduino or other microcontrollers.

Dos And Donts

Donts

  • Expose To High Temperatures: Do not use the waterproof TDS probe in water above 70°C.,
  • Measure Flow Water: Avoid using the sensor to measure flowing water.,
  • Use In Highly Polluted Water: Do not use the sensor to measure water with high pollution concentration.,
  • Submerge The Sensor: The Grove sensor itself is not waterproof.

Dos

  • Use For Water Quality Testing: Apply the sensor in applications like TDS meters, well water testing, aquariums, and hydroponics.,
  • Ensure Compatible Voltage: Use with systems that support 3.3/5V input voltage.
