A11 TDS Water Quality Tester 0–9990 ppm | Digital Meter
Know exactly what's in your water — instantly. The A11 TDS Digital Water Quality Tester delivers fast, accurate total dissolved solids (TDS) readings from 0 to 9990 ppm with a simple one-button operation. Whether you're checking drinking water, monitoring an RO/DI filtration system, or maintaining an aquarium, the A11 makes water quality monitoring effortless for everyone.
Why Choose the A11 TDS Meter?
- Instant Readings: Short-press to power on, dip the probe, and get a precise TDS reading in seconds — no waiting, no guesswork.
- Color-Coded Visual Alerts: Green backlight (<50 ppm) signals high-purity water; Red backlight (≥50 ppm) indicates ordinary water quality — easy to understand at a glance, even for seniors and kids.
- Value Lock (HOLD) Function: Freeze the current reading on screen with a single press, making it easy to record and compare results.
- Auto Backlight: Screen lights up automatically when powered on for clear reading in any lighting condition.
- Auto Shutdown: Powers off automatically after 1 minute of inactivity to extend battery life — no more dead batteries when you need them most.
- High-Sensitivity Titanium Alloy Probe: Upgraded precision probe with built-in chip delivers accurate, reliable readings every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a TDS water quality tester actually measure?
A: A TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) tester measures the concentration of dissolved substances in water — including minerals, salts, and other compounds — expressed in parts per million (ppm). The A11 TDS meter measures from 0 to 9990 ppm, giving you a clear numeric value so you can assess the overall dissolved solids content of any water sample.
Q: What do the green and red backlight colors mean on the A11 TDS meter?
A: The color-coded backlight provides instant visual feedback. A green backlight means the TDS reading is below 50 ppm, indicating high-purity water (such as from a well-performing RO/DI filter). A red backlight means the reading is 50 ppm or above, indicating ordinary water quality such as tap water or mineral water. This makes interpreting results fast and intuitive without needing to analyze numbers closely.
Q: Is the A11 TDS tester suitable for testing aquarium water?
A: Yes! The A11 TDS digital meter is ideal for aquariums and fish tanks. It helps you monitor and maintain the optimal dissolved solids level for your aquatic life. Its compact, pen-style design makes it easy to dip directly into tanks for a quick reading without any hassle.
Q: How long do the batteries last in the A11 TDS water tester?
A: The A11 runs on 2×LR44 batteries (included and pre-installed). The built-in auto-shutdown feature powers the device off after 1 minute of inactivity, significantly extending battery life. LR44 batteries are widely available and easy to replace when needed.
Q: Can I use the A11 TDS meter to monitor my reverse osmosis (RO) filter?
A: Absolutely. The A11 TDS meter is one of the most popular tools for monitoring RO and DI (deionization) water filtration systems. By testing the output water regularly, you can track filter performance over time and identify exactly when your filters need replacing — saving money and ensuring consistently pure water output.
