The Milwaukee CD600 Digital TDS Meter is a compact, economical tester designed to measure total dissolved solids (TDS) in water. With a measurement range of 0–1,990 ppm, it provides a convenient way to monitor dissolved-solids levels in aquariums, hydroponic nutrient solutions, horticultural systems and water-treatment applications.
Easy to operate and small enough to carry in your pocket, the CD600 is ideal for routine water checks where a quick TDS reading is required. Its automatic temperature compensation helps account for temperature differences, while simple one-point calibration allows the meter to be recalibrated when necessary.
Whether you are checking aquarium water, monitoring nutrient solutions or assessing the performance of water filtration systems, the Milwaukee CD600 offers a straightforward approach to everyday TDS testing.
Key Features
0–1,990 ppm measuring range – suitable for low-to-moderate TDS applications.
10 ppm resolution – displays readings in practical 10 ppm increments.
±2% full-scale accuracy – provides dependable measurements for routine monitoring.
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) – compensates for temperature variation from 5 to 50°C.
Simple one-point calibration – manual calibration using the adjustment trimmer.
Factory calibrated – ready for use, with the option to recalibrate when required.
Pocket-sized design – lightweight and convenient for portable water testing.
Battery powered – uses four 1.5V alkaline batteries.
Why Measure Total Dissolved Solids?
Total dissolved solids (TDS) describes the concentration of dissolved substances in water, including dissolved salts and minerals. TDS measurements are commonly used to monitor water composition and identify changes over time.
Regular testing can help:
Monitor dissolved-solids levels in aquarium and freshwater systems.
Check nutrient-solution consistency in hydroponic applications.
Compare water quality before and after filtration.
Monitor changes in water sources.
Maintain consistent water conditions as part of a wider testing routine.
For aquariums and aquaculture systems, TDS can provide useful supporting information about water composition. It should not be used as a substitute for testing individual parameters such as pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate or dissolved oxygen.
Automatic Temperature Compensation
Temperature can influence conductivity measurements and, consequently, calculated TDS readings.
The Milwaukee CD600 features automatic temperature compensation from 5 to 50°C, helping to account for temperature variation during measurement.
This makes it practical for routine testing where samples may not always be at the same temperature.
Simple One-Point Calibration
The CD600 is factory calibrated and can be recalibrated manually using a suitable TDS calibration solution.
For this model, Milwaukee specifies the M10032B 1382 ppm TDS calibration solution.
Calibration is performed using the adjustment trimmer and a small screwdriver. Regular calibration helps maintain confidence in readings, particularly when the tester is used frequently.
Understanding TDS and EC
TDS and electrical conductivity (EC) are closely related, but they are not the same measurement.
EC measures how readily water conducts electricity, while TDS meters use conductivity to estimate the concentration of dissolved solids and display the result in parts per million (ppm).
Different conversion scales are used, including the 500, 650 and 700 scales. As a result, two TDS meters using different conversion factors may display different ppm readings for the same water sample.
For consistent monitoring, use the same measurement scale when comparing readings over time.
Care and Maintenance
To help maintain reliable performance:
Rinse the sensing area with clean tap or deionised water after every use.
Remove any nutrient or mineral residue from the sensing area.
Avoid touching the metal sensing elements.
Replace the protective cap after use.
Recalibrate periodically or whenever readings become questionable.
Use fresh calibration solution and avoid contaminating the solution during calibration.

The Aquafilter FCCBKDF210BB is a 10-inch Big Blue multi-media water filter cartridge combining coconut-shell granular activated carbon (GAC), KDF-55® media and ion-exchange softening resin. Designed for compatible 10-inch Big Blue filter housings, it helps reduce chlorine, improve water taste and odour, treat selected dissolved contaminants and reduce water hardness.
By combining three different filtration media in one cartridge, the FCCBKDF210BB offers a practical solution for water filtration and limited-capacity softening in compatible point-of-use and point-of-entry systems.
Three filtration media in one cartridge
1. Coconut-shell granular activated carbon (GAC)
The coconut-shell activated carbon helps reduce free chlorine and selected organic compounds that can affect water taste and odour. It also helps reduce certain solvents and other organic substances.
2. KDF-55® media
KDF-55® uses an oxidation-reduction (redox) process to help reduce chlorine and selected dissolved contaminants, including certain heavy metals, iron and hydrogen sulphide. It also helps inhibit bacterial growth within the filtration media.
3. Ion-exchange softening resin
The strongly acidic cation-exchange resin helps reduce water hardness by exchanging calcium and magnesium ions. This can help reduce the hardness contribution of incoming water, although the cartridge has a finite softening capacity and is not a replacement for a dedicated water softener.
Designed for 10-inch Big Blue housings
The FCCBKDF210BB measures approximately 9 7/8 inches long and 4.5 inches in diameter.
It is designed for compatible 10-inch Big Blue filter housings. It is not interchangeable with standard 10-inch slimline cartridges, which have a diameter of approximately 2.5 inches.
Always check your existing cartridge dimensions and housing compatibility before ordering.

What can the FCCBKDF210BB help reduce?
The three filtration media provide complementary treatment benefits:
Chlorine: Activated carbon and KDF media help reduce free chlorine.
Unpleasant taste and odour: Coconut-shell activated carbon helps reduce substances responsible for undesirable tastes and smells.
Selected organic compounds: Activated carbon helps reduce certain organic contaminants, including selected solvents.
Selected heavy metals: KDF-55® helps reduce certain dissolved metals under suitable operating conditions.
Iron and hydrogen sulphide: KDF media is designed to help reduce these substances.
Water hardness: Ion-exchange resin helps reduce calcium and magnesium ions.
The degree of reduction depends on the concentration of contaminants and operating conditions. This cartridge is not a universal contaminant-removal solution and should not be considered a substitute for microbiological disinfection.
Water softening performance
The FCCBKDF210BB contains 0.5 litres of ion-exchange resin to help reduce calcium and magnesium, the principal contributors to water hardness.
Aquafilter specifies a maximum ion-exchange capacity of 1.40 m³ × °dH for this model. Its catalogue also gives a softening performance test figure of 715 litres under specified conditions, including water hardness of 2°dH.
This is a limited-capacity softening solution compared with a dedicated water softener. The cartridge is best understood as a combined filtration and supplementary softening cartridge rather than a replacement for a full water-softening system.
Up-flow filtration design
The FCCBKDF series uses an up-flow filtration arrangement, allowing water to travel upwards through the filtration media.
This design provides extended contact time between the water and the media, supporting the adsorption and treatment processes.
Non-woven polypropylene filtration layers help retain the media inside the cartridge and prevent it from being washed out.
Installation and maintenance
Install the FCCBKDF210BB in a compatible 10-inch Big Blue filter housing, following the housing manufacturer's instructions.
For improved cartridge life, Aquafilter recommends installing a suitable sediment pre-filter upstream. Compatible FCPS or FCPP sediment cartridges can help capture suspended particles before water reaches the GAC, KDF and softening media.
The recommended replacement interval is 3–6 months. Replace the cartridge sooner if water quality, flow or usage indicates that it is exhausted.
Flush the cartridge before use according to the manufacturer's instructions.
This cartridge is designed for cold potable water. Do not use it with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the filtration system.

Utilising a traditional single layer manufacturing method, the PRISM range of bags offers the greatest option in terms of filtration media and neck seal type, providing a suitable solution for most bulk solid removal applications. PRISM polypropylene and polyethylene felt bags also benefit from an all welded seam construction, meaning they are capable of holding several kg's whilst maintaining filter integrity. Heavy duty handles make changeouts simple, avoiding operator contact with the unwanted filtrate.
Point Four Plastic Micro Bubble Diffusers (PMBD) are one of the most efficient diffusers available, allowing you to increase yield while controlling the cost of expensive gases. Made from premium materials and subject to rigorous testing, PMBDs provide the kind of performance and reliability our reputation is built on.
Point Four diffusers use a specially developed, ultra fine pore ceramic plate that produces a cloud of extremely fine bubbles of approximately 100–500 microns; far superior to airstones, porous hose or membrane type designs. The flat plate design ensures uniform bubbles across the entire surface and minimizes bubble coalescence to achieve an absorption rate in excess of 80%, depending on depth and flowrate. Bubbling pressure is 25 to 35 psi (1.7 to 2.4 bar).
• Robust construction—ceramic plates set in an injection moulded plastic base with solid brass connection fittings.• Flexible, modular design lets you easily add or subtract diffusers as your needs change.
Applications for micro-bubble diffusers include pure gas applications (pure oxygen, carbon dioxide), high-density hauling, holding/grow out tanks and emergency aeration.
Note: Diffusers are also known as airstones.
Carbon cartridges made with Fibredyne™ technology are far more advanced than traditional carbon block cartridges. Benefits of higher flow rates, lower pressure drops, higher treatment capacity and less susceptibility to premature blocking from sediment make them the leading carbon cartridges on the market.The fibres (coated in powdered activated carbon) have a very large surface area to offer increased capacity, more flow paths to allow for increased flow and reduced pressure drop and also create areas where sediment can be trapped.The construction methods used to manufacture Fibredyne™ cartridges allow for a variety of constituents to be incorporated that solve specific application problems. Lead and other heavy metals removal can be targeted, Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts removed and developments that produce no fines or Sulphur release is a particular benefit in electroplating applications. Fibredyne™ technology also enables the use of moulded Santoprene gaskets, meaning no glues are used and the risk of end-caps being left in the housing during cartridge change is vastly reduced..Features & Benefits

TruDepth Standard spun cartridges from SPECTRUM are one of 4 cartridges available in the TruDepth range, alongside the Economic, Premier and High Efficiency cartridges. Each a different grade to match the wide variety of liquid applications where a broad range of particles are to be removed.Each grade is manufactured from only FDA compliant polypropylene with no binders, resins or glues ensuring no leeching into the liquid stream. All cartridges in the TruDepth range use melt-blown technology to form their 3D micropore matrices with different fine fibres used to create a strong structure with coarser filtration on the surface and finer filtration on the inner. This gradual reduction in size allows the cartridges to be used where a wide band of pollutant sizes exist. Contaminants such as particles, dirt, debris and rust are removed by the TruDepth range to provide efficient filtration and excellent service life.The variants in construction are reflected in each of the range’s performance. The finer fibres and deep grooves used in the Premier range for instance offer benefits in maximising the filtration surface area which increases the flow rate and lowers the pressure drop across the cartridge as well as maximising the dirt-holding capability and extending the service life. The Premier range also benefits from offering end-cap and seal options.Choosing the cartridge grade that is fit for the purpose is dependent upon the individual application requirements of temperature, pressure, band of particle size to be removed, requirements of housing to accept specific end-caps, approvals, sizes, lengths and micron ratings.Key Product Features
