TDS Water Quality Sensor Starter Kit Kit with Arduino Uno
TDS Water Quality Sensor Kit with Arduino Uno – Test Your Drinking Water in 2-3 Hours
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Have you ever wondered if your tap water, RO water, or even rainwater is safe to drink? With this kit you build a compact digital meter that reads Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in parts per million and instantly labels it Good, Average, or Poor on a bright 16×2 LCD. It’s hands‑on environmental science, Arduino programming, and real‑world sensor use — packed into a single afternoon project.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a portable water quality checker that uses a TDS conductivity probe. The probe dips into any non‑corrosive water sample, the Arduino Uno processes the electrical signal, and the LCD displays the exact ppm number together with a clear drinking‑quality classification. The whole circuit lives on a breadboard and runs on a 9 V battery — ready for school exhibitions, STEM fairs, or quick checks at home.
What You'll Learn
- Interface a TDS (EC) sensor with an Arduino and calibrate it for reliable ppm readings
- Understand how dissolved solids change electrical conductivity and what that means for water safety
- Program a 16×2 LCD with an I2C backpack to show live sensor data
- Classify drinking water using WHO / Indian standard TDS thresholds in your code

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE students from Class 6 to 12 building science fair projects or exploring sensor‑based monitoring. ATL Tinkering Lab participants who need a ready‑to‑go water testing experiment. First‑year B.Tech ECE/EEE learners looking for a genuine Arduino sensor project. Also, a wonderful weekend STEM activity for curious young minds (10–15 years) who want to compare water from different taps, filters, and bottles.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Open the AI companion from the QR code — it recognises each step of this specific TDS meter project. If you prefer, send a WhatsApp message with a photo of your breadboard and we’ll help you debug in minutes.
Can this kit test RO water or municipal tap water?
Absolutely. The TDS probe is calibrated for the 0–1000 ppm range, ideal for checking RO output, borewell water, tap water hardness, and even packaged drinking water.
Will the LCD show real‑time results?
Yes. As soon as you dip the probe the screen refreshes the ppm number and the quality label (Good, Average, Poor) within two seconds. No extra button presses needed.
Do I need any soldering?
No soldering at all. Every connection is made on the breadboard using the included male‑to‑male jumper wires — even the I2C backpack snaps directly onto the LCD.
TDS conductivity sensor measures dissolved solids in water. LCD shows ppm and drinking quality classification.
