I noticed that some of those who promote water filters consider 150 TDS a health hazard and a water filter should be installed!
What are the risks of a low TDS?
I utilize 4 each .05 micron water filters of 3 as fiber & 1 as carbon ceramic.
This system provides water only.
This provides good H2O to rinse anything with b4 I use it as a eating utensil or container.
It is important to analyze the water frequently for TDS. One of the main benefits of reducing or treating TDS is that it will affect the taste in drinking water. If the TDS level is very low, the water can have a neutral taste and water with high levels of TDS It can have a bitter, metallic, or salty taste or it may carry chloramine or chlorine, etc. Therefore, the goal is to have a moderate level of dissolved solids to give drinking water a pleasant taste as well as to eliminate harmful chemicals. Once an adequate level of dissolved solids is reached, the treated water can be used for a wide range of applications. TDS levels can have an impact on human health, aquariums, swimming pools / spas, etc.
There are single-stage, three-stage, and seven-stage filters
The best of the three stages
The number of filtration stages depends on the quality of the water

The number of filtration stages depends on the quality of the water
Water filtration is essential in the home, and good filtration depends on the type of filters used
There are no known scientific data which clearly demonstrate that the consumption of low TDS water by humans will or will not lead to harmful effects on the human body. However, a very low concentration of TDS has been found to give water a flat taste, which is undesirable to many people.

The problem with home treatment units, which usually consist of three to five stages, is not only in the high price that the consumer pays to buy and maintain them, but also in the water they produce, which contains low concentrations of salts that may reach less than 10 mg per liter and not more than 50. Water is a serious health hazard, according to some studies that say that every liter of water should contain 100 mg of solids and salts necessary for human health.
Depending on the type of water source and the concentration of salts in it, a restriction is valid or not
This inquiring statement is mundane redundant while carrying a multitude of responses it continues its 'redundancy to no avail.
I installed 4 [four] water filters onto my incoming city water pipe.
They are 3 [three] fiber filters of .05 micron & 1 [one] of .02 micron of carbon ceramic.
This filtering installation emits only water, nothing of TDS .
I inibe 3 liters of water per day, or 6 1.5 ltr bottles of water that I filled from those filters.
Yes, dear Mohammed Alobaidy , this is true. I always agree with you (You are the uncle of the children)
I disagree with you, dear Mike Kazuo Yoshida
In hot countries, and with sweating, a person loses many salts
Water that contains salts supplies the human body with salts
The number of filters or the number of filter stages depends on the quality of the water
See the table below
Do you have documented studies on what I mentioned, and are they specific to a specific region?
From my practical observations, putting plant tissue in distilled water leads to the death of that plant tissue.
I hope to hear your opinion. You opinion I care. I thank RG who Know me to many people, and you are one of him.
Omar... For the hazardous effects of high TDS levels in water you may refer to our article:
Evaluation Of Quality Of Drinking Water From Baghdad
Science World J., 5(2) (2010) 35-46.
For drinking water the specification permits the presence of certain level of TDS. ... Regards

thank you
I like answers that are based on scientific articles
And if it was written by you, it is much more beautiful
Very happy with your answer

My application response descriptive was, is for me. My location, my bodies life. Malaysia, Perak, Ipoh, Menglembu.
However, within global territorial considerations my application for some of them is partially on track. Africans, Indonesia & impoverished similarities of the African villages are in dire need of of pure clean water. However, as you depict the of loss of needed body salts, minerals as replacement requirements, then my response only covers aquification with pure water of no additionals.
Though in consideration of 'additionls' My additives are from my personal cookings & multivitamin, mineral intakes daily with Malted Chocolate, Milk & coffee mix within a 280
of water as a mix.
Perhaps this addresses your original concept of your presented inquiry.

Perhaps this addresses your original concept of your presented inquiry.
However, to comply with the 'multiplicity' 'facets' of life of humanity, is not standing as simplicity of a singularity of response.
Then to cover all that you indicated & invoked the mind into inspirational experienced considerations of awareness that your response to my 1st response of 'filters' invoked & then to your 'additionals' 2nd response opened my mind into my having been into & residing in many countries & their human gathered 'communities' with variances in temperate weather climates I say here that your 'additional' considerations are notable reality.
The overall needs, requirements of the human body are extensive.
This covers that we both are aware of the facets of required aquification including its types as content!
I asked that question in my water group. https://members.globalwaterworks.org/posts/9226367/comments/25053782
I joined less than a year ago and found it very worthwhile. Of course the plant answer is easy, putting a plant in distilled water is taking away all of its nutrients. We get most of our nutrients from the food we eat not the water we drink.
This included is water filtering.
I installed 4 [four] water filters onto my incoming city water pipe.
Looking at the whole picture filtering all incoming water as opposed to consumed cold water adds lots of cost. Cold water to the hot water heater should not be filtered, if hardness is high >100 ppm, then ONLY cold water supply to hot water heater should be softened. if hardness is very high > 300 ppm then consider softening cold water as well.
TDS is a measure of the soluble inorganic substances in the water. It includes many substances some which add taste to the water, and some which can affect the health. Most drinking water guidelines derive recommended TDS values based on the taste of the water. Ideal tasting water will contain about 80 - 100 mg/L TDS. Water with TDS less than 50 mg/L tend to be more corrosive, which means metals will leach out of pipes fittings e.g. lead and nickel. Water with TDS above 500 mg/L tends to be either salty (taste caused by sodium) or hard (causes scaling from carbonate salts). Desalinated water is usually re-constituted to have a TDS about the ideal drinking water quality.
About water treatment units installed either at the point of use or at the point of entry, there are many types of treatment techniques. The choice of treatment depends on the quality of the incoming water and what you require of the water quality. If the water contains some sediments, a ceramic filter might be sufficient to achieve good drinking water. If you are concern about the microbiological quality, you should install a UV lamp. If the water tastes unusual you might need an activated carbon filter (to organic taste substances from algae) or ion exchange cartridge (to remove sodium however the sodium is replaced by calcium) or reverse osmosis which will remove just about everything (the water will taste a bit flat). Companies that provide these treatment units are not very honest and will sell you the most expensive equipment.
My experience is the same as Paul's with regard to integrity of companies selling these products. I was involved in one outbreak a high rise hotel that had installed a point of entry (whole house) carbon filter. The flyer made by the local manager for this major international water treatment equipment supplier said you don't need chlorine in building water only in municipal water. This was in Miami where city water a little brackish, and city water temperature is 28C and they maintain a very high level of disinfectant > 3 ppm chloramine. I thought after I was deposed by the corporate lawyer in this case that the company would provide some awareness and training on this issue to their sales force. I've since met with several of their salesman and they remain clueless. So yes they will make recommendations based on revenue and not what is best for the application or even what is safe for the application.
There is another unusual approach to water preparation. Even clean, high-quality water can become contaminated and change its taste when moving through pipes in a water distribution network. Which exit? It is possible to completely purify the consumer's water by filters from impurities and salts, and then add a concentrate of useful salts with a dosing device. The concentrate can be obtained from quality water, for example, "Evian".
We got this as an additional benefit from our downhole technology.

Vjacheslav Fisenko in the time we filter and sterilize the water, we are losing minerals.
The idea I brought up is great
Ali A. Al-Homaidan In hot countries, it is possible to drink water that contains more than 300 TDS, because mineral loss is more due to sweating
