What Happens to Your Body When Water TDS Level Is High  

Sona Saini

TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) measures the concentration of minerals, salts, and metals in water.

When TDS levels exceed 500 mg/L, the water is considered unsafe for regular consumption.

High TDS can lead to digestive issues like nausea, cramps, or stomach irritation.

Excess sodium and calcium may cause kidney strain and increase the risk of stones.

Long-term intake can affect liver and heart health due to mineral imbalance.

High fluoride or nitrate content may damage teeth and bones over time.

Skin and hair can become dry or irritated if you bathe regularly in high-TDS water.

Always test your water, use a RO purifier or filtration system to maintain safe TDS levels (50–150 mg/L ideal).
