High TDS levels generally indicate hard water, which can cause scale buildup in pipes, valves, and filters, reducing performance and adding to system maintenance costs. These effects can be seen in aquariums, spas, swimming pools, and reverse osmosis water treatment systems. Typically, in these applications, total dissolved solids are tested frequently, and filtration membranes are checked in order to prevent adverse effects.

==Primary sources for total dissolved solids in receiving water is agricultural and residential runoff leaking of soil contamination and point source water pollution dicharge from industrial or sewage treatment plants. The most common chemical costituents are calcium, phosphates,nitates,sodium,potassium, and chloride.== High TDS levels generally indicate hard water, which can cause scale buildup in pipes valves, and filters, reducing performance and adding to system maintenance costs.
