When it comes to the purity and taste of water, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measured in Parts Per Million (PPM) is a key factor. TDS refers to the concentration of dissolved minerals, salts, and other solids in water. The lower the TDS, the purer the water, and Crockies' 21 PPM is a perfect example of premium quality, far exceeding global standards.
What is TDS Measured in PPM?
TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids, and it is measured in PPM, which means parts per million. This unit tells you how many milligrams of dissolved solids (like minerals, salts, and metals) are present in one liter of water.
For example, a TDS of 50 ppm means there are 50 milligrams of dissolved substances in every liter of water. The lower the number, the fewer impurities — and the purer the water.
Global Drinking Water Standards for TDS (PPM)
The recommended TDS levels for drinking water vary around the world:
United States: TDS vary between 80-100 PPM, considering it acceptable for taste and quality.
Europe: TDS of around 60 PPM, reflecting their mineral-rich sources.
Japan: TDS vary between 10-110 PPM, with many high-end brands falling within this range.
Why Low TDS Matters for Water Quality and Health
TDS, or Total Dissolved Solids, measures the concentration of minerals, salts, and organic matter in water. A lower TDS level indicates purer water that is closer to nature, cleaner in taste, and gentler on the body. Water with low TDS, like glacial meltwater, is free from contaminants and excess minerals, making it ideal for daily hydration, supporting kidney health, and enhancing the natural flavor of tea and coffee. It is not just clean, it is healthier and better for your well-being.
Better Taste: Lower TDS levels, like Crockies' 21 PPM, mean a cleaner, crisper taste with no overwhelming mineral flavors.
Healthier Hydration: Water with lower TDS is free from excessive minerals and contaminants, making it ideal for long-term health and well-being.
Purity: Low TDS indicates that the water has been naturally filtered and is free from pollutants, ensuring the highest level of purity in every bottle.
Crockies: Canada's Purest Water with 21 PPM
Canada is home to some of the purest and highest-quality freshwater in the world. With the Rocky Mountains and pristine snowmelt, it offers water sources with exceptionally low TDS levels, a rare natural asset, and a true gift of fresh water.
Crockies water is naturally filtered through glaciers and mountain rocks, resulting in an exceptionally low TDS of 21 PPM. This not only surpasses the World Health Organization (WHO)'s 'excellent' rating of 150 PPM or less but places Crockies among the cleanest and healthiest waters available globally.
