No. A TDS meter&#xA0;does not&#xA0;measure water contaminants. It will&#xA0;not&#xA0;tell you if your water is healthy. Some healthy minerals like potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium can actually cause your TDS meter to spike.&#xA0; So, any water filter with a remineralizer will cause the opposite effect on a TDS meter than you expect.&#xA0;
