Perfect for ultralight backpacking and hiking



     Hello, fellow hikers and enthusiasts. I just wanted to share an easy method of testing the quality of your water. I recently purchased the Happy Hydro TDS Meter at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
     Although this will not tell you if the water you are testing is free of bacteria, it will allow you to see the effectiveness of any water filtration system you are using. In fact, I used this to compare my new Survivor Filter that will accompany me on the A.T. to my tap water, and the water from my Britta pitcher. Surprisingly, the Britta filtered water barely improved the quality of my tap water. Thanks to my new Happy Hydro, I was able to see the truth. I also saw that my new Survivor Filter did its job, and I now know what the normal operating TDS range of my filter is, as well.
     The Happy Hydro TDS Meter has more uses, like testing the water in your fish aquarium, or monitoring the nutrient levels when growing plants by hydroponics but, for me, knowing exactly when to change my water filter when on extended backpacking hikes gives me peace of mind, and at just 0.02 ounces, and about the size of a pen, you can be sure that this handy tool will always have a spot in my pack.
