Do You Know What’s in Your Office Drinking Water?
Most office managers assume their drinking water is safe, but that’s not always the case. Even if your water looks clear and tastes fine, it could still contain high levels of total dissolved solids (TDS), a sign of poor water quality.
Whether your office is in Jersey City, Edison, or Toms River, conducting a TDS water test is the first step in protecting your employees’ health and upgrading to cleaner, better-tasting water.
What Is a TDS Water Test?
A TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) water test measures the concentration of dissolved particles in your water, like minerals, salts, metals, and even chemicals. These can come from aging pipes, municipal treatment chemicals, or natural groundwater contaminants.
The test provides a numeric reading in parts per million (ppm). The higher the number, the more contaminants are likely present in your water.
Why TDS Levels Matter for Your Office
High TDS levels can affect:
💧 Taste and smell – Water may taste metallic, salty, or bitter.
🫧 Appliance lifespan – TDS can lead to scale buildup in water coolers or coffee machines.
🛑 Health and safety – While not all TDS components are harmful, some, like lead or nitrates pose real health risks.
The EPA recommends keeping TDS levels under 500 ppm for safe drinking water.
5 Signs Your NJ Office Should Schedule a TDS Water Test
Here are common warning signs:
✅ Employees complain about the taste or smell of the water
✅ You’ve had plumbing issues or pipe replacements
✅ Your building is older (built before 1986, when lead pipes were more common)
✅ You rely on municipal tap water and want a second opinion
✅ You’re considering switching to a bottleless water cooler system
