Total Dissolved Solids. The total mineral composition of your water. It is not an ccurate measurement for specific compounds, but rather the total composition of all minerals...

It is the measurement of all disolved solids in your water. Remember this that anything that you put in your water will raise the tds. For example even liquids can raise the tds. I often use HCl to lower the ph but one trade off is that this will raise the tds. TDS is a measurement of hardness.
