We also have a TDS(Total Dissolved Solids) meter. TDS is basically the amount of mobile charged ions, including minerals, salts or metals dissolved in a given volume of water. The U.S. EPA's Maximum Contaminant Levels of TDS for human consumption is 5.00 ppm. The lower the TDS level in the water you drink, the more efficiently your body's cells are hydrated.Let's test some water.
We have very hard water, not to mention a bunch of other additives. The meter reads 3.40
This is from the water filter we thought was doing a great job. It's one of those filters that hooks on the faucet and you flip it up for the filtered water and down for the tap water. It reads 3.48
This is God's gift to us: snow. You would think it would be pure, but I know it picks up particles from the atmosphere. It reads 0.12 That is so low it's cool.....hummmmm
How good is bottled water? This is a name brand, very expensive bottle of water. I can't afford to buy it all the time for drinking, cooking, making coffee and ice cubes, but I was very happy with the reading. It was 0.01
Our new filtered water. Just like they said it would be. Zero water, pure H2O.
Reading o.oo
