Understanding Your Water

Before choosing a purification system, it's vital to understand what's in your water. Blue Gel Aqua Solutions always assesses water quality before installing our RO on Rent Near Me systems to ensure optimal performance.

What is TDS?

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measures the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances contained in a liquid. High TDS (above 500 ppm) usually indicates hard water that requires RO purification.

Testing Methods

You can use a simple digital TDS meter at home to get a baseline reading. However, a TDS meter doesn't detect bacteria, viruses, or specific chemical contaminants. For a comprehensive analysis, laboratory testing is recommended.
