TDS Meter 1-13897 Water Quality Tester for Waterjet Systems

The TDS Meter 1-13897 is a water quality testing instrument used in Waterjet Intensifier pump systems. “TDS” stands for Total Dissolved Solids, and the main function of this meter is to measure the concentration of dissolved minerals, salts, and impurities in the water supply before it enters the high-pressure pump system.
Maintaining proper water quality is critical for Waterjet Equipment because excessive dissolved solids can cause scale buildup, premature seal wear, check valve damage, orifice blockage, and reduced pump performance. The TDS meter helps operators monitor water purity and determine whether filtration or water treatment is required.
A high-quality TDS meter is essential for protecting high-pressure components, improving cutting stability, and extending equipment service life.

Is TDS Meter 1-13897 a Wear Part?

No — the TDS Meter 1-13897 is not considered a wear part.
It is a reusable diagnostic and monitoring tool used for water quality testing rather than a consumable component. Under normal use and proper maintenance, it has a long service life.
However, the sensing probe or battery may eventually require replacement due to aging or heavy usage.
