Total Dissolved Solids

Many pool owners are confused about the topic of Total Dissolved Solids (often referred to by its acronym, TDS) in a pool. While the actual explanation of - and chemistry behind - Total Dissolved Solids is simply too complex to even try to discuss or explain in a manual written for pool owners, the main point for you to know is that evaporation is the primary contributing factor that leads to a high level of Total Dissolved Solids in the pool water.

Please also be advised that cheap (not inexpensive, but cheap) pool chemicals - packed with low-grade and low-quality ingredients, fillers and additives - are another contributing factor - actually a major contributing factor - that leads to a heightened and expedited level of Total Dissolved Solids in the pool water. There are so many reasons not to use cheap and inferior pool chemicals, but for this reason alone, don't use them.
