Know your Waters
Natural waters are mainly differentiated by their content of soluble matter, which is measured as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS); this is also indicative of the quality of the waters. Usually, the lower the reading of the TDS, the less impurities there are and the softer and purer the water is.
Natural waters, depending on its level of TDS, maybe described as Spring Water or Mineral Water. Usually, Spring Water contains TDS lower than 250* and Mineral Water contains TDS higher than 250*.
The chart below applies to natural waters only. Waters with contents that are artificially formulated or altered via manufacturing processes are not considered natural waters.
| Spring Waters | Mineral Waters | |
|---|---|---|
|
TDS under 100* |
TDS 100-250* |
TDS over 250* |
