Original Note:
TDS meters are cheap and better than nothing. However, they SHOULD NOT be relied on as a water quality test as they ONLY measure conductivity, and there are many harmful contaminants that do not increase conductivity (lead, pesticides, arsenic, motor oil...) https://www.aquasana.com/info/tds-meter-what-is-it-and-do-you-need-it-pd.html#:~:text=A%20TDS%20meter%20is%20a,the%20TDS%20from%20that%20reading.
