Total Dissolved Solids or TDS

Total dissolved solids (or TDS) is the measure of all organic and inorganic substances dissolved in a given liquid, revealing the proportion of different solids.

There are a number of different uses for TDS: it can measure pollution levels in lakes and rivers or mineral levels in drinking water, for example, and also has agricultural applications in irrigation.

Total Dissolved Solids in Water Definition
Total Dissolved Solids TDS are the residues left by simply evaporating a filtered quantity of water at low temperatures. TDS is a measure of the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances contained in a liquid in: molecular, ionized or micro-granular suspended form.  more….>>>
