Experts Advise Choosing Water Purifiers Based on Source Water Quality and TDS Levels
In India, drinking water quality varies by source, with Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) being a key indicator. Experts recommend selecting water purifiers based on TDS levels and contamination profiles rather than assumptions. RO purifiers are advised only when TDS exceeds 500 mg/L or specific contaminants like fluoride or heavy metals are present. Overuse of RO can remove essential minerals and waste water. The Bureau of Indian Standards sets acceptable TDS limits, with 150-300 mg/L considered ideal for daily consumption.
