It may be argued that certain components (dissolved minerals etc.) in drinking water are beneficial to our health. If not mistaken, 500 TDS is considered the legal limit for water provided for human consumption, potable water in Canada. It's up to the individual to research the water reports from their supplier & decide if they wish to drink it or buy bottled/drink RO. There are plenty of forums etc. full of heated discussions as to what's beneficial & what isn't. Obviously the heavy metals such as lead & mercury are proven bad guys. If you look at the numbers in the Duteau Creek report I posted earlier, most of the larger numbers of elements in the water are things like iron, magnesium, calcium & alkalinity. I don't think any of those are considered harmful.
