Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) refer to the combined amount of inorganic salts, minerals, and small amounts of organic matter dissolved in water. It represents the overall concentration of these substances, which originate from natural sources, pollution, or treatment processes. TDS is measured in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per liter (mg/L). High TDS levels can affect water taste, quality, and suitability for drinking or industrial use, while low levels often indicate purer water. Regular testing of TDS helps monitor water quality and ensure it meets health and safety standards.
