TDS Meters - Total Dissolved Solids Meter |
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) are
found in any and everything that consumes, lives in, or uses water. From the
fish in the sea to the plumbing in our homes. TDS are the total amount of mobile
charged ions (minerals, salts, metals, suspended solids and any other inorganic
elemement present other than the H2O water molecule) dissolved in a given volume of water.
The lower the TDS level in the water you drink, the more efficiently the
cells in your body are hydrated (because you are getting more pure H2O). On the
other hand, the higher the TDS levels are in your water the greater the chance
harmful contaminants are present that could cause health risks or prevent
absorption of water into your body.
Carbon Filters, Reverse Osmosis
Systems, Distillation, and Deionization are all methods to reduce or remove TDS
from your water.
| Water
Type/Source |
Average TDS Range for
Source |
| Reverse Osmosis, Distilled,
Deionized Water |
0 to 50 ppm |
| Carbon Filtration, Aquifers, Mountain
Springs |
50 to 140 ppm |
| Average Tap Water |
140 to 400 ppm |
| Hard Water |
170 to 500 ppm |
| Less than Average Tap Water |
200 to 300 ppm |
| EPA's Maximum Contamination Level For
Humans |
500 ppm |
The EPA's Recommendation for the Maximum level of TDS for human
consumption is 500 ppm. The below TDS Meters can be used in a variety of ways
to make sure you are protecting yourself and your body from too much TDS
consumption.
