Q: What is TDS? A: TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids, which measures the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances dissolved in water.
Measured in ppm (parts per million), TDS readings vary greatly from one water source to the next.
Q: What makes up TDS: A:
-Minerals and Salts: Calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chlorides, and sulfates.
-Metals and Pollutants: Lead, copper, nitrates, industrial runoff particles, PFAS (forever chemicals), and other pollutants.
Q: How much TDS is in a bottle of purified drinking water? A: Typically, around 25-30 ppm.
Q: How do I get my TDS lower? A: Reverse Osmosis, the same process used my bottled water companies, is available in compact, affordable units for residential use.
These systems are typically placed under your kitchen sink and supply purified drinking water right to a dedicated faucet. Contact AquaCheck Water Conditioning today, to learn more.
