TDS Water Testing in Oxford, AL

Total dissolved solids is the first number that matters when you choose a purification system. It is measured in parts per million and covers everything dissolved in the water: calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfate, chloride, nitrate and more. The EPA's secondary guideline is 500 ppm, set for taste and scaling, not health.

A TDS reading does not tell you what is in the water. It tells you how much. Two homes at 450 ppm can have very different problems, so a TDS test is the starting point, not the whole answer.

Bear Water Purification connects Oxford, AL homeowners with plumbers who test TDS, hardness, chlorine and pH at the tap and at the RO faucet, then compare the two to work out membrane rejection. When the numbers point at something specific, like nitrate, arsenic or PFAS, the next step is a certified lab test.

On an existing RO system the test takes two minutes and tells you whether the membrane still works. Rejection below about 80 to 85 percent is the usual replacement point.

Reverse osmosis FAQs

Questions about reverse osmosis system installation

Questions we hear most often about TDS Water Testing in Oxford, AL.

Talk to a real person
What water pressure does a reverse osmosis system need?
Most under-sink systems need at least 40 psi and work best at 50 to 60 psi. Below that, a booster pump or permeate pump restores output.
Is RO water safe to drink without minerals?
Yes. Most of the minerals you take in come from food, not water. A remineralization cartridge can add calcium and magnesium back if you prefer the taste.
Can I connect my RO system to the refrigerator and ice maker?
Yes, with a dedicated 1/4 inch line teed after the post-filter. If the fridge is far from the sink or ice cubes come out small, a permeate or delivery pump fixes the pressure.
Why does my RO water taste bad all of a sudden?
A spent carbon post-filter, a storage tank that needs sanitizing or a worn membrane are the common causes. Filter changes and a tank sanitize clear up most taste complaints.
Do I need UV with my reverse osmosis system?
On treated city water, usually not. On a private well, a cistern or after a positive bacteria test, a UV stage adds protection that RO alone does not give.
