I want to **upgrade** Water Purifier to clearly display the purity of the water, for eg.(add-TDS meter)

Great idea! I think it should be an integral part of a water purifier.

However we would like to know what kind of water purifier do you have?

What is the purpose to check the TDS? Will the water purifier make some automatic adjustments based on the TDS level?

More importantly - **How pure is pure water?** Is it absence of pathogens or absence of chemicals and minerals or both?

I assume that TDS sensor in a water purifier is to keep a check on the filters. If the filters are not working satisfactorily it should result in rise of TDS in the water. A sensor would help in providing a warning.

What would be ideal TDS of water.?  
My RO gives a consistent TDS of 13.
