What is TDS in RO Water and How to Reduce ?
RO water tds level refer to the assortment of components that make up water, specifically drinking water. One of the best ways to reduce the TDS in your drinking water is to use reverse osmosis (RO) water purifiers. An RO filter can reduce your TDS levels by forcing water through a membrane that has microscopic pores. These pores must be small enough to eliminate the smallest particles.

How would the ros react if doc accidentally said the I love you line in the midst of passion?
Is the passion in this case meaning an emotional outburst kind of passion or a making out session? 🤔
I have a hard time knowing what words exactly mean since I'm possibly(?) in neurodivergent spectrum (undiagnosed and feeling lazy to check)
But still, I'll answer both scenarios then 🤭
Tumblr media
Emotional Outburst
Starter : The words you never thought you'd ever utter one day have spilled out of your mouth. You slowly come to a realization of this very unfamiliar and weird feeling in your chest slowly takes form as the last piece of puzzle snaps into its place.
Levi : Levithus looks at you with an expression you've never seen before. You could notice the subtle change of tint within their cheeks. Their widened eyes slowly soften as they pull you closer by the waist. ███ ████ ███ ███████ ████ ████ ████ ██ ████ ██████ █████ ██ ████ ███ ██ ███ as their hands began caressing your face with a large grin plastered on their face.
“Anything else you'd like to add, honey?”
Ellio : Ellio turns to look at you. Though almost nothing changes in their expression, you are able to notice the surprise within their eyes. They slowly made their way over to stand right in front of you. ███ ███ ███ ███ ████████ ██ ███ ███ ██████ ██████ █████ ████ ██ ███ ████ ████ ████ ███████ ██████. The look on their face has a different atmosphere from what you're very used to.
“..May I embrace you?"
Fran : “Of cour—!”
The detective just realized what the person in front of them just said.
“...W-What?”
Blush was spreading around their face reaching to their ears. They look at you for a moment before running in your direction. You were suddenly being jumped by them as they wrapped their arms around your shoulder with happiness. ███ ███ ███████ ███ █████ ██ ████ ███████ ███ ███ ██ ███, ███ ███ ███ ███'█ ████ █████████ ██ ██.
“Hahaha! I can't believe it!”
Ziree : The weapon in their hand fell as their face transformed into an expression of shock.
“...What the hell are you talking about!?”
“Weren't all of those past actions fake??”
They take a step back and take their weapon back into its place. ███ ███ ███ ███ ███████ ██████ █████ ████ ███ ██ ████ ██████ ███ ███ ███████ ██ ██ ██. Their eyes turn to glare back at you.
“I won't fall for it the second time.”
Their words may have been the opposite, but you were able to see the small traces of the familiar longing of the past. Although before you could reply, they had already left the scene.
Tumblr media
As usual, the tag for nsfw territory is TD : UTS 😋
Tumblr media
Levi : They smile coldly, no traces of the usual friendly face. Still with your bodies intertwined with another, they whisper, “Are you sure it's not merely because you're clouded with lust, sweetheart?”
“You shouldn't say such things so easily, doctor.”
Ellio : They stop their actions and distance themselves from you. They walk away from the room and come back with a glass of hot water. 
“Let's stop this.”
“I don't like to take advantage of someone's feelings within their vulnerability, doctor.”
Fran : They giggle and give you a small peck. 
“Let's talk about it later.”
“For now, let's focus on this first, alright?”
Ziree : Their grip becomes a little bit more rough for a moment. Then, they hover their hands over your skin in a slow manner as they let out a chuckle.
“I cannot stop despising you for what you've done. Yet, I continue to yearn for you every single day.”

(not the biggest fan of doing this but the water is getting bad man and we're not really in the best of financial shape to do anything about it so I'm gonna shoot my shot.) Hey, this is Lea and we're having an issue with the quality of our water.
For those that live in Mesa, AZ, issues with the water quality have been a day-to-day struggle but today we were told that our water quality is no longer considered safe for long-term consumption. With a recent TDS score of 587, that puts our water that has been filtered from the tap over what is considered the maximum for drinking water at 500. It's possible with the recent water shortages and changes of where our water is sourced, it has caused the water quality to suffer.
So, what can we do about it?
The short answer is that we only have two options. We either switch to purchasing and using bottled water for both drinking and cooking, or we look into having a reverse osmosis system installed. The RO system is the more expensive upfront option with the chance it will pay for itself down the line and the actual target of this fundraiser.
So how much do I need?
1,050.00 for the system itself, $247 for the installation and an additional 160 to have our refrigerator connected to the system should we choose to do so.
Tumblr media
What's the point?
Drinking high TDS water can lead to a lot of health problems, specifically with your kidney and your digestive system. Depending on the actual mineral load in the water as well can cause its own series of issues. The other concerns is also the damage it's doing to the appliances that are connected to the water system as it can lead up to a mineral buildup in pipes that cannot be reached or cleaned.
Finally, I want to thank you for taking the time to read through this and for the consideration of your support should you choose to assist us.

The Evolution and Impact of Water Purification Systems: A Comprehensive Overview
Access to clean and safe drinking water is not just a basic human need—it is a critical determinant of public health. With growing concerns over environmental pollution, industrial contaminants, and emerging waterborne diseases, the importance of reliable water purification systems has never been greater. In this article, we will delve into the various types of water purification technologies, how they work, and their role in safeguarding our most precious resource: clean water.
1. The Importance of Water Purification
Water is essential for life, but natural water sources—rivers, lakes, and underground aquifers—are rarely free from contaminants. Pollutants such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals, heavy metals, and sediments can be present in untreated water, making it unsafe for human consumption. While many urban areas rely on municipal water treatment plants, rural regions and private well owners may face greater challenges ensuring the water they consume is clean and safe.
Water purification systems play a pivotal role in eliminating these contaminants, providing water that is not only free of pathogens but also healthy for consumption. A good purification system removes dangerous elements without stripping the water of essential minerals that support bodily health.
2. Common Water Contaminants
Before diving into purification methods, it’s important to understand the types of contaminants that systems aim to remove:
Microorganisms: Bacteria (e.g., E. coli), viruses (e.g., norovirus), and protozoa (e.g., Giardia) are among the most common biological contaminants, which can cause gastrointestinal and other illnesses.
Heavy Metals: Metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury can leach into water from pipes, industrial waste, or mining activities. These pose serious long-term health risks.
Chemical Contaminants: Pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals such as solvents and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) can make their way into drinking water and affect both human health and the environment.
Sediments and Particulates: Physical contaminants like dirt, sand, rust, and silt can affect water clarity and taste.
Hardness Minerals: Calcium and magnesium in hard water can cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances, making water feel "filmy" and reducing the efficiency of cleaning.
3. Types of Water Purification Systems
Several technologies have been developed over the years to effectively address different contaminants. Let’s look at the most widely used and advanced methods:
A. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems
Reverse osmosis is one of the most reliable and widely used water purification methods. In an RO system, water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane, which allows only water molecules to pass through while blocking larger particles such as salts, minerals, and contaminants. This results in highly purified water, free from most pollutants.
How it Works:
Water enters the system and passes through a pre-filter to remove larger particles.
The water is then pushed through a semi-permeable membrane, which filters out impurities.
Finally, the clean water is stored in a tank, and any waste is flushed out through the drain.
Advantages:
Effective at removing a broad range of contaminants, including heavy metals, salts, bacteria, and viruses.
Produces water with very low total dissolved solids (TDS), making it ideal for sensitive uses such as medical or laboratory applications.
Disadvantages:
Wastes a significant amount of water (typically 3-4 times more than the purified water produced).
Can be more expensive due to the need for regular maintenance (e.g., membrane replacement).
May remove beneficial minerals (although some systems include remineralization filters).
B. Activated Carbon Filtration
Activated carbon filters are one of the oldest and most accessible methods for purifying water. They work by adsorbing contaminants onto the surface of the carbon, which has an incredibly large surface area due to its porous structure. This method is particularly effective for removing chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and improving taste and odor.
How it Works:
Water passes through a filter made of activated carbon.
The carbon absorbs chemicals, organic compounds, and chlorine, which are trapped in the pores of the carbon material.
Advantages:
Excellent for improving taste and odor.
Effective at removing chlorine, pesticides, and some heavy metals.
Inexpensive and easy to maintain.
Disadvantages:
Does not remove all contaminants (e.g., it is ineffective against salts, minerals, and most microorganisms).
Requires periodic replacement of the carbon filter to maintain effectiveness.
C. UV Water Purification
Ultraviolet (UV) water purifiers use UV light to disinfect water by destroying the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, rendering them incapable of reproduction. UV purification is a non-chemical, environmentally friendly method that is often used in conjunction with other filtration techniques.
How it Works:
Water flows through a chamber containing a UV light source.
The UV light penetrates the cells of microorganisms and destroys their ability to reproduce, effectively neutralizing them.
Advantages:
Highly effective at killing microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses.
Requires no chemicals and does not alter the taste or odor of water.
Rapid process with minimal maintenance.
Disadvantages:
Does not remove physical or chemical contaminants (e.g., sediments, heavy metals).
Requires electricity to operate.
Effectiveness can be compromised if the water contains high levels of turbidity or particulates.
D. Distillation
Distillation is a purification process that involves boiling water to produce steam, then cooling the steam back into liquid form. During this process, contaminants with higher boiling points than water are left behind, while the pure water vapor condenses into liquid.
How it Works:
Water is heated to boiling, and the steam rises, leaving contaminants behind.
The steam is then cooled in a separate chamber, where it condenses back into liquid form, resulting in purified water.
Advantages:
Very effective at removing most contaminants, including bacteria, heavy metals, salts, and other impurities.
Produces high-purity water.
Disadvantages:
Energy-intensive due to the need for boiling.
Can take a long time to produce significant amounts of purified water.
Removes beneficial minerals, leaving "flat" tasting water.
E. Ion Exchange Systems
Ion exchange is primarily used for water softening and heavy metal removal. In this system, ions in the water are swapped with more benign ions, typically sodium or potassium. The system helps remove hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) and metals like lead and mercury.
How it Works:
Water flows through a resin bed, which exchanges calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions.
In the process, heavy metals like lead and arsenic may also be removed.
Advantages:
Softens water, reducing scale buildup.
Removes heavy metals, including lead, copper, and mercury.
Can be integrated into other filtration systems for a multi-stage approach.
Disadvantages:
Does not address biological contamination.
Requires regular regeneration of the resin, typically with salt.
4. Choosing the Right Water Purification System
Selecting the ideal water purification system for your needs requires careful consideration of several factors:
Water Quality: The first step is to test the water and identify the specific contaminants present. Water testing kits are available for home use, or you can hire a professional service.
Water Usage: Consider how much water your household or business uses. Larger systems may be required for high-volume applications.
Budget: Costs vary widely depending on the technology and complexity of the system. Keep in mind that some systems, such as reverse osmosis, may have higher upfront costs and maintenance needs.
Maintenance: Some systems, such as reverse osmosis and distillation, require more upkeep (filter changes, cleaning, etc.), while others, like UV systems, require less frequent maintenance.
Energy Consumption: If you’re in a remote area or looking for a more eco-friendly solution, consider the energy requirements of the system.
5. The Future of Water Purification
Water purification technology continues to evolve, driven by the increasing need for clean water and the advancements in materials science, nanotechnology, and solar power. Some of the promising trends include:
Graphene-based filters: Graphene, a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms, has shown great potential in filtering out contaminants more effectively than traditional methods.
Solar-Powered Purification: In regions with limited access to electricity, solar-powered water purifiers are an energy-efficient and eco-friendly solution.
Smart Water Purifiers: IoT-enabled systems allow users to monitor and control water quality remotely, providing real-time feedback and alerting users when maintenance is needed.
Conclusion
Water purification systems have come a long way in improving the safety and quality of the water we drink. From reverse osmosis and UV purification to ion exchange and distillation, each method has its strengths and is suited to different water quality issues. Understanding the specific needs of your water source, as well as the advantages and limitations of each system, will help you make an informed decision. As technology continues to advance, the future of water purification looks promising, offering cleaner, safer water for communities around the world.

Tumblr media
When it comes to ensuring safe and clean drinking water, choosing the right purifier can be challenging. RO, UV, and UF purifiers each offer unique technologies and benefits. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand their differences and choose the perfect fit for your home.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Purifiers
How It Works:
Uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove dissolved salts, heavy metals, and contaminants.
Best For:
Areas with hard water or high TDS (Total Dissolved Solids).
Families needing comprehensive purification.
Ultraviolet (UV) Purifiers
How It Works:
Uses UV rays to kill bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms.
Best For:
Areas with microbiologically unsafe water.
Households requiring pathogen-free drinking water without altering mineral content.
Ultrafiltration (UF) Purifiers
How It Works:
Uses hollow fiber membranes to block bacteria and suspended particles.
Best For:
Areas with low TDS and no heavy metals.
Homes with intermittent water supply or low pressure.
