TDS Water Testing in Utica, MI

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 Utica, MI 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 Utica, MI.

Talk to a real person
How much water does a reverse osmosis system waste?
Older under-sink systems send roughly 3 to 4 gallons to drain for every gallon of purified water. Newer high-efficiency units and systems with a permeate pump cut that ratio sharply, some close to 1 to 1.
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.
What is the difference between tank and tankless RO systems?
A tank system stores purified water under air pressure and needs no power. A tankless system makes water on demand with a built-in pump, takes less cabinet space and needs an outlet.
How do I know if my RO membrane needs replacing?
Compare a TDS reading from the regular tap with one from the RO faucet. If the membrane is removing less than about 80 to 85 percent of dissolved solids, it is time to replace it.
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.
