Those not wanting to purchase water in bottles and who prefer using the kitchen tap , can now clean up their tap water with a ZeroWater filter ( www . zerowater . co . uk ). Unique to any other water filter , a ZeroWater filter defines itself as the only filter in its class to achieve such a high level of purification . The FDA requires the TDS level in purified bottled water to reach 000-010ppm . ZeroWater ' s first layer of filtration , activated carbon and oxidation reduction alloy removes the chlorine taste you are accustomed to with tap water .
The Ion Exchange stage removes virtually all dissolved solids that may be left over from public water systems or even leached into your water from piping such as aluminium , lead , zinc , nitrate and more . Three additional stages are included to remove other contaminants and to ensure your water receives the appropriate amount of treatment time to deliver a 000 reading on your water quality metre .
Sounding a bit too ‘ sciencey ’? insideKENT asked ZeroWater to simplify the process for us and explain a little more about what it all means .
TDS - the scientific definition :
Total Dissolved Solids ( TDS ) are a measurement of compounds like minerals , salts , and organic compounds that are dissolved into the water through contact with rock and other surfaces . TDS can be made up of several different types of compounds , including but not limited to : calcium , magnesium , iron , sodium chloride and sulphides ( which are compounds frequently found in groundwater supplies ). Increased levels of TDS may affect the taste and appearance of your water .
Why should you measure TDS ?
Measuring water TDS levels is the best way to understand the quality of your drinking water . TDS are organic and non-organic sediments found in
water , which contribute to a difference in the taste , odour , and appearance of water . Dissolved solids enter your water supply from a wide range of sources - old piping , run-off from road salts , pesticides , fertilisers and more .
What is the TDS water test ?
TDS is tested in water through special metres that detect particles . A ZeroWater ® TDS metre will show the number of solid particles per one million water particles ( ppm ). For example , a value of 60 ppm means that from one million particles there are 60 dissolved ions , and the rest ( 999,940 ) are water molecules . 5-Stage water filters by ZeroWater ® remove 99.6 % of total dissolved solids in your drinking water .
No matter if you ’ re drinking from the tap , via a filter , or from the bottle , there ’ s no question when it comes to just how important keeping hydrated and drinking lots of water is for our body and mind . Whether you ’ re doing it to benefit the skin , help digestion , stop headaches or to simply maintain your overall health , never underestimate the power of H2O .
