A lot is being said, a lot is being believed, a lot of is being assumed about the novel coronavirus.

While looking for water filters, you will find many companies promoting their water filtration solutions using the word “TDS” – asserting that it is their key method to test water quality.

The reason why many water filter businesses and homeowners commonly use a TDS test to measure the quality of water is that it is easy, quick and cheap.

But what happens when it turns out that the issue is not with the plumbing or drainage system, but with the flow of water.
