The TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level in Florida well water can vary widely, but on average it ranges between 200 to 1,200 PPM (parts per million), depending on the location and depth of the well.
Here’s a general breakdown:
- Northern & Central Florida wells: ~200–500 PPM
- South Florida wells (like Miami-Dade, Naples, Fort Myers): often 600–1,200+ PPM
- Coastal areas: may have higher TDS due to saltwater intrusion or limestone content
Why is it high?
Florida’s underground aquifers often contain limestone, calcium, magnesium, and sulfates, which naturally raise TDS. In coastal regions, brackish or salty water can seep into wells, increasing the number even more.
If your Florida well water tests over 500 PPM, the EPA recommends using filtration systems like reverse osmosis to improve taste and reduce potential health concerns.
