In the modern age of health and wellness, drinking clean, safe water is not just a necessity—it’s a lifestyle. One of the most commonly misunderstood terms in water quality is TDS—Total Dissolved Solids. While brands like On Take Water have brought attention to healthy hydration, it’s crucial to understand what TDS is, how it affects your water, and what levels are ideal for consumption.
This comprehensive guide will walk you through the concept of TDS in drinking water, its importance, ideal ranges, and how On Take Water ensures the perfect TDS balance in every bottle.
What is TDS?
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) refers to the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances present in a liquid, typically measured in parts per million (ppm). These substances include minerals, salts, metals, cations, and anions that are dissolved in water.
Common examples of dissolved solids include:
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Sodium
- Potassium
- Bicarbonates
- Chlorides
- Sulfates
TDS can originate from natural sources like mineral springs, rocks, and soil, or from human activities such as agricultural runoff, wastewater, and industrial processes.
Why TDS Matters in Drinking Water
You may think that low TDS means better water, but that’s not always the case. While zero TDS may imply purity, it may also mean the absence of essential minerals.
Here’s how TDS influences your water:
1. Taste
The level of TDS affects the flavor of water. Water with very low TDS can taste flat or bland, while water with moderate TDS tends to have a clean, slightly mineral taste—which is preferred by most consumers.
On Take Water delivers water with a naturally crisp taste, thanks to its balanced TDS levels, making hydration more enjoyable.

2. Health Benefits
TDS isn’t just about taste—it’s also about health. Essential minerals like calcium and magnesium support bone health, nerve function, and metabolic processes.
By maintaining optimal TDS levels, On Take Water ensures you’re not just quenching your thirst, but also supporting your overall wellness.

3. Water Purification
Water that has too high or too low a TDS can indicate problems with your filtration system or source. If your water purifier strips out all minerals, you may be drinking water that lacks nutritional value.
On Take Water is purified through advanced multi-stage filtration, ensuring harmful substances are removed while retaining essential minerals—just the way nature intended.

Myths and Misconceptions About TDS
Let’s clear up some common myths:
Myth 1: Lower TDS is always better
Truth: Ultra-low TDS (below 50 ppm) may lack essential minerals. It’s not suitable for long-term consumption unless mineralized afterward.
Myth 2: Bottled water always has ideal TDS
Truth: Many bottled waters are just RO-purified tap water, stripped of minerals. In contrast, On Take Water provides naturally balanced TDS levels for optimal health.
Myth 3: High TDS = Contaminated water
Truth: High TDS can come from natural minerals, but it can also come from pollutants. It’s important to understand the source of TDS, not just the number.
