Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a single-number measure of everything dissolved in your water — minerals, salts, and metals — reported in parts per million by a handheld meter. A high reading can indicate hard water or dissolved metals and may taste bitter or metallic, but it won't identify which solids are present, so treat it as a prompt for specific testing, not a diagnosis. TDS is most useful as a trend: a sudden change often signals a spent filter, new contaminant, or pipe corrosion. 🧂
