TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) refer to the combined amount of organic and inorganic substances dissolved in water. These include salts, minerals, metals, and other compounds that are present in tiny amounts, usually measured in parts per million (ppm). TDS affects water's taste, odor, and quality, and provides an indication of its purity. High TDS can result from natural mineral content or pollution, while low TDS often signifies cleaner water. Testing TDS helps determine if water is safe for drinking and suitable for various industrial or agricultural uses.
