Here’s a weird thought: pure water has a PPM of zero. Pure H2O is actually kind of boring. It tastes flat and weird.
Distilled water is the cleanest you can get. It has almost zero PPM of anything. But drink it too much? Your body misses the healthy minerals. It’s like eating plain white rice forever.
Most bottled water has a TDS (total dissolved solids) of 100 to 300 PPM. That’s the sweet spot. Not too much, not too little.

Aquarium nerds measure PPM obsessively. They yell things like, “My nitrate is at 20 PPM!” It’s dramatic. And it keeps the fish alive.
