Understanding TDS Levels in Water

The video tutorial by Jason from Little Guy Big Review demonstrates the use of a TDS meter to test the purity of various water types, including tap, bottled, and alkaline water. The TDS meter measures total dissolved solids, indicating water quality. Jason explains the features of the TDS meter, such as ppm measurement and temperature testing. He tests different water samples, revealing surprising results, especially with boiled water in different pots. The video concludes with recommendations for using a TDS meter to ensure water quality.

What does TDS stand for in the context of water quality?
