Title: highest ever TDS - 1500ppm
Post by: macmac on March 08, 2007, 10:37:29 pm
tested a customers water today, it is a private supply that goes through some sort of filtering process (he told me but i've never heard of it). the tds went off the scale, as my hand held meter only goes up to 999 on the display, it comes up with 150 with a little x10 at the side (never even knew it did this). the highest reading i've had before was just short of 500, so has anyone had a reading (from a tap) higher than 1500ppm?????? :o :o

thats apparantly quite normal for some areas of the med they say the high mineral deposits adds to longevity in some ,

me i always think just because they say the waters cleaner here i wonder if its any good for you

Do they use a water softener.
I tried an experiment with this and got a similar reading
