PH & TDS METER TECHNICAL TCE

Technical Data Sheet –  PH & TDS Meter


1. Product Description

A rugged, waterproof handheld meter equipped with a combined probe for measuring pH, electrical conductivity (EC/TDS), and temperature—ideal for testing irrigation water, hydroponics solutions, and environmental samples.


2. Technical Specifications
