HM Digital COM-100 | Water Quality Test Meter | Measures Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Salinity & Temperature (°C)

The HM Digital COM-100 is a sturdy, waterproof, professional-grade water testing meter that’s quick, reliable, easy to use, and simple to re-calibrate.

The COM-100 device comes pre-calibrated to give you accurate and reliable readings of electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), and temperature (°C Degrees Celsius), and has limitless applications from drinking water quality or scientific testing, mixing nutrients/fertilizers for gardening and hydroponics through to monitoring boilers, coolers, pools, spas, aquariums, and even wastewater!

Capable of reading an incredibly wide range of sample data with over 98% accuracy on four upgraded non-linear scales (µS (micro-Siemens), mS (milli-Seimens), ppm (parts per million), ppt (parts per thousand), the COM-100 meter also enables precise and quick conversions with the click of a button.

Designed in the US and manufactured with innovative Korean tech expertise, this solid bit of kit is built to last and rival more expensive TDS & EC meters, without the exorbitant price tag.

 

Features, Performance, Specs & Certifications

  • Incredibly Precise Measurements - 98% accuracy (within +/- 2% of the true parameter) and comes pre-calibrated based on a 1413µS solution.
  • Electrical Conductivity (EC) Range: 0–9990 µS (micro-Siemens) and 0 – 9.99 mS (milli-Seimens).
  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Range:
    • 0–8560 parts per million (ppm) (on an 0.7 Scale (442 Scale*)); 0–8.56 parts per thousand (ppt) (on an 0.7 Scale (442 Scale*)).
      • *Note: "442 Scale" refers to a formula of salt and deionized water, in a ratio of 40% sodium sulfate, 40% sodium bicarbonate, 20% sodium chloride. This formula was developed by the Myron L Company over 40 years ago and remains the world's most accepted salt standard to this day.
    • 0 – 5000 ppm (0.5 Scale (NaCl - Sodium Chloride)); 0-5.00 ppt (0.5 Scale (NaCl - Sodium Chloride)
  • Temperature Range: from 0-55°Celcius, also features Auto Temperature Compensation (ATC) with three (3) temp coefficients. 
  • Measurement Range Resolution:
    • From 0-99 the resolution of the measurement range increases/decreases in increments of 0.1 µS per ppm, and increments of 0.01mS per ppt;
    • From 100-999 the resolution of the measurement range increases/decreases in increments of 1 µS per ppm; and
    • From 1000-9990 the resolution of the measurement range increases/decreases in increments of 10 µS/ppm.
    • Temperature resolution increases/decreases in increments of 0.1°Celcius.
  • Electrical Conductivity (EC) to Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Conversion Factor: quick and easy non-linear conversions for KCl (potassium chloride), 442 Scale, or NaCl (Sodium Chloride) solutions.
  • Digital Calibration: easily calibrate to any point within the meter's specified range, with the push of a button (hold/mode). 
  • Large LCD Display: with dual test and temperature defaults for easy readings in all light settings.
  • Probe Sensor: made of platinum electrodes that are easy to detach and replace if required (Replacement Part No. SP-C1). 
  • IP-67 Waterproof Housing is submersible and buoyant so will float (and you don't have to worry about dropping it in the water).
  • Power: Auto-off function for up to 1000 hours of use. Takes 2 x Triple A (AAA) Batteries (included).
  • Bonus: lanyard to prevent accidental drops and cap to protect the probe when not in use. 
  • Weight & Dimensions: Light Pocket Sized Device - 127g & 18.5 x 3.4 x 3.4 cm
  • 1 Year Warranty

 

Can I test for hardness with a TDS Meter?

Sort of, but not really. Hardness is a measure of the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium within the water. A TDS meter will measure the total dissolved minerals, salts, or metals in the water - but it won't tell you what those dissolved particles are or whether they are actually a cause for concern. To assess your hardness, ask for a report from your local water board (if you draw from a municipal water supply). Otherwise, if you are on bore water, we recommend getting your water analyzed

 

How to recalibrate an EC & TDS Meter? Use an Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Calibration Solution!

For optimal calibration results of your COM-100 EC & TDS Meter, we recommend to periodically recalibrate your meter with HM Digital™ TDS Calibration Solution (342ppm NaCl).

The HM Digital TDS Calibration Solution contains:

  • 342 ppm of NaCl (Sodium Chloride) at 25 degrees celsius
  • 362 ppm at KCL (Potassium Chloride) at 25 degrees celsius
  • 478ppm as "442" at 25 degrees celsius
  • 700µS/cm at 25 degrees celsius

For best results using TDS Calibration Solution:

  • For an accurate result, we recommend that you decant the required amount into a sterile container for calibrating your meter.
  • Only use the required amount needed for calibrating.
  • Discard the used contaminated solution.
  • For optimal performance, re-calibrate your meters periodically, or if testing TDS or conductivity levels in wide or different ranges.
  • All Calibration fluids should be stored in a cool place, out of the heat of the sun.

Return Policy

Due to the nature of the products we sell, a strict return policy is in place. We work with food grade certified materials that must be un-opened and un-used as to be able to be re-sold.
