I'd like to talk to you a little bit about TDS, which stands for total dissolved solids. That's things that are in the water that are not water. Basically what you are gonna find is if you have the average TDS in the United States is gonna be between 250 and 350. If its over 500 it is not recommended for human consumption according to the EPA secondary standard. If its over 1000 its actually is unfit for human consumption and is a potential health hazard. High grade bottled water has to be 150 TDS or less or it isnt considered high grade bottled water according to the EPA.
