Conductivity
The conductivity level is determined by the amount of all salts present in the water.
Together with the measured degree of carbonate hardness, it serves as a relatively
good indicator to determine whether the local raw water causes, if untreated, an
increased chance of corrosion in a downstream installed coffee machine.
TDS Indicates the sum of the dissolved solids (salts) in the water. The TDS value is
derived from the measured conductivity.
Mineralisation
Within the scope of the PROGUARD Coffee product concept, mineralisation
means the addition of the desired type of minerals (calcium hydrogen
carbonate) to the previously desalinated water. Depending on the local raw
water conditions, the mineralisation level can be customised to various
degrees, resulting in low, medium or highly mineralised water, each degree
with a different effect on the coffee taste.
