Important Information about TDS
The Coral Water Filtration System is not designed to remove beneficial minerals from your drinking water. These minerals that occur naturally are a healthy part of your drinking water and should remain. The Brondell Coral Water Filtration System is designed to dramatically reduce water-soluble harmful contaminants, including industrial chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, turbidity, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and microorganisms, most of which cannot be "read" with a TDS reader. For more information about what our Coral filter can reduce, please see our WQA-certified Performance Data sheet.
This product will not reduce TDS and may slightly increase it as the carbon filters release trace amounts of carbon into the water.
