Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality: Guideline Technical Document – Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

An aesthetic objective of ≤500 mg/L has been established for total dissolved solids (TDS) in drinking water. At higher levels, excessive hardness, unpalatability, mineral deposition and corrosion may occur. At low levels, however, TDS contributes to the palatability of water.
