Dry residue, or TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), expresses the solid particles collected after the water has evaporated at 180\u00b0. <\/em>Dry residue is expressed in PPM (parts per million) or mg\/litre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Curious to test your water? The technology is very easy to use. Just stick the Aquacycle.eu TDS meter in your water and get a reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>TDS must be less than 100 mg\/l.

Fewer contaminants<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A low TDS content generally means that the water contains fewer harmful substances, such as :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Heavy metals<\/strong> such as lead, mercury or arsenic, which can accumulate in the body and cause toxicity.<\/span><\/li>\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Industrial pollutants<\/strong> such as nitrates, fluorides and pesticides, which can present long-term health risks.<\/span><\/li>\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Salts<\/strong> which contribute to water hardness and can cause kidney stress or problems such as hypertension if consumed in excess.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>2. Less stress on the kidneys<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With low TDS, the kidneys don't have to work as hard to eliminate excess salts or contaminants. Thanks to the very principle of osmosis, contaminants in our blood (high TDS) are more easily transferred to the pure water we ingest (low TDS). This reduces the risk of kidney stones and other problems associated with mineral build-up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>3. Promotes detoxification<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Low-TDS water, such as purified or distilled water, has a greater capacity to absorb and eliminate toxins from the body. It acts like a \"blank slate\", helping your body's natural detoxification processes to work more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>4. Better hydration<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Low TDS water often has a neutral taste, making it more pleasant to drink in large quantities. Adequate hydration is essential for bodily functions such as digestion, temperature regulation and nutrient absorption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>5. Reduced risk of over-mineralization<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While some minerals are essential for good health, excessive consumption of minerals from high-TDS water can lead to :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Mineral deposits<\/strong> in joints, tissues or organs over the long term.<\/span><\/li>\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Electrolyte imbalances<\/strong>which can affect blood pressure, heart health or metabolic functions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Does reverse osmosis reduce essential minerals in water?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Visit <strong>reality<\/strong>The minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium and rare elements) contained in water can only be assimilated in very small quantities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This doesn't mean we can't assimilate them, but their molecular structure doesn't correspond to that of a human food. The nutritional power of an element depends above all on its molecular structure. This is known as \"bioavailability\".<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are organizations <strong>autotrophic <\/strong>(plants) and organisms <strong>heterotrophic <\/strong>(animals).\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Heterotrophs, including us humans, build up their own organic matter, feeding only on pre-existing organic matter. Conversely, autotrophic organisms make their own organic matter from mineral matter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>If we simplify things, we have to use plants to absorb \"bioavailable\" minerals.<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Water should be seen above all as an essential element for purifying the body and ensuring optimum hydration, rather than as a direct source of nutrients in the strict sense of the term. Water that is too rich in minerals can overload the body, leading to stones and thrombosis. Water's main role is not to provide its own nutrients, but to transport those from the diet to the heart of the cells, hydrate them and facilitate the elimination of waste products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Following reverse osmosis filtration, Aquacyle.be offers a remineralization cartridge loaded with essential, bioavailable minerals for pure, balanced water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What are the benefits of pure, balanced water?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hydration up to 4x faster.<\/span><\/li>\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Improved endurance and reduced recovery time during intense exercise.<\/span><\/li>\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Better absorption of nutrients.<\/span><\/li>\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Optimize the elimination of intracellular and toxic waste from the body.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Related article:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"\/en\/?p=3267\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3267\">6 questions to choose the ideal osmosis plant<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"\/en\/?p=3264\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3264\">Reverse osmosis fundamentals<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"\/en\/?p=3262\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3262\">Is osmosis water too pure?<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"\/en\/?p=3271\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3271\">Network or bottle?
