MI TDS WATER TESTER - DETAILED REVIEW WITH WATER TEST
Xiaomi is known for its smartphones, however, the company also manufactures nifty tech and lifestyle gadgets that are useful in daily life. Today we are reviewing one such device called the Mi Water TDS Tester. The TDS in this does not mean Tax Deducted at Source, jokes apart. The TDS stands for Total dissolved solids that are generally found in water. TDS is any salt, mineral or metal that is found in the water. The water that we receive for drinking passes through a filtration process and as a result, may contain dissolved solids. A large number of dissolved solids, more than 1000 mg/L in the water is not suitable for drinking and can be harmful to health.
