Water is an essential need for life and safe and easily available water is important for public health. Contaminated water leads to the transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, typhoid, hepatitis, jaundice, etc. It is necessary to have information about the quality of the water supply coming into our houses. Untreated and unfiltered water carries the potential to damage the vital organs of the body. Therefore it is recommended to have a water filter at home.

Unfiltered water

Water is exposed to multiple contaminants such as chemicals, toxic materials not visible to naked eyes. Heavy metals also find their presence in water such as mercury, cadmium, lead, and aluminum. However, tap water is supposed to be cleaner but the filtration process followed is generic and can contain contaminants in an unbalanced proportion. Therefore it is recommended to have a water filter at home.

Intake of Contaminated water causes several  health problems:

The most common illnesses caused by drinking unfiltered water are Stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fever in the short term. But active microbes cause substantial damage to kidneys and may lead to fatal disease in the long term.

What is TDS in drinking water?

When you think of water, the most common thing that comes into your mind is a colorless and odorless liquid. But that’s not sufficient enough. The chemical composition of water is a complex one. We all need quality and clean water. But can you measure the quality of water? The answer is turbidity. Turbidity informs the water’s cleanliness and quality by measuring the suspended particles in the water. This article will describe TDS in drinking water, how it is measured and how it can assess the cleanliness of drinking water.

 

 

What do you need to know about TDS?

The nature of water is such that many impurities and organic or inorganic materials dissolve in it easily. Total Dissolved Solids or TDS informs us of these organic and inorganic materials such as metals, minerals, salts, and ions present in the water.

Total dissolved solids (TDS in drinking water) are measured in ppm, this is an abbreviation for “parts per million” and it also can be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/L). This measurement is the mass of a chemical or contaminates per unit volume of water.

 Suppose a TDS meter says 100 ppm, that means that from one million particles, 100 are dissolved ions and 999,900 are water molecules.

How TDS affect our health?

According to information available on the WHO website, water containing TDS concentrations below 1000 mg/liter is usually acceptable to consumers, although acceptability may vary according to circumstances. However, the presence of high levels of TDS in drinking water may be objectionable to consumers owing to the resulting taste.

Adverse impact on appliances

WHO website says that the high TDS levels (>500 mg/liter) result in excessive scaling in water pipes, water heaters, boilers, and household appliances such as kettles and steam irons. Such scaling can shorten the service life of these appliances.

How to measure TDS?

You can test the quality of water with the help of a TDS meter. It is the simplest way to measure total dissolved solids. So, a home water test kit can be a good instrument to tell exactly what quality of TDS is present in your water.
