TDS and pH are two different indicators of drinking water that need to be tested.
TDS
is called Total Dissolved Solids, which can be approximated as the salt
content of the water. The larger the TDS value, the higher the salt
content of the water, and the smaller the TDS value, the lower the salt
content of the water, and the purer the water. Drinking water TDS value
is generally in the 600mg / L or so.
pH indicates the acidity of
water, pH>7 is alkaline, pH higher alkaline stronger PH=7 is neutral
PH<7 is acidic, pH smaller acidic stronger. Nowadays, drinking water
is formulated in various ways, the pH value is not fixed, neutral and
slightly alkaline is better.
