How Do Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Get Into Tulsa Water?
The term TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) refers to the cumulative combination of dissolved solids, including cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions), in your water. The level of TDS in water is typically measured in milligrams per liter (mg/L) to assess its impact on water quality. But what does that mean? TDS is the stuff that gets mixed into your water and stays there, kind of like sugar dissolving in coffee. It includes tiny particles with positive or negative charges.
TDS can significantly affect the properties of water, such as taste, salinity level, and the potential for scale formation or corrosion. For example:
- TDS combined with carbonates, such as calcium (CaCO3) or magnesium (MgCO3), can lead to hard water, which causes scale buildup and bitter taste.
- TDS combined with chlorides, such as sodium (NaCl) or potassium (KCl), can result in saline water or brackish water, which often has a salty taste and increased corrosivity.
If you’re concerned about the quality of water in Tulsa, consider testing for TDS. While a TDS test will provide the total concentration of dissolved solids, it won’t identify specific compounds.

Total Dissolved Solids and Water As A Solvent
Water is classified as an excellent solvent due to its ability to dissolve various substances. This unique property allows it to absorb impurities easily. In its purest form, water is tasteless, odorless, colorless—and the most effective solvent there is. While small amounts of certain dissolved solids, such as minerals and sodium, may offer health advantages, elevated levels can have adverse effects on your water supplies, home appliances, and personal care.
