What does TAPP Water not filter?
TAPP Water净水器不过滤什么？

A common misconception is that a water filter should remove everything from tap water. Here is a list of the substances and parameters that TAPP Water does not remove or reduce and why.
一个常见的误解是，净水器应该去除自来水中的一切。这里列出了TAPP Water不能去除或减少的物质和参数以及原因。

• TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)
  TDS are basically minerals like inorganic salts and small amounts of organic matter dissolved in water. These are usually calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, and nitrates. Most lab reports use electrical conductivity instead of TDS. In no case does TDS indicate whether the water is potable or not.
  TDS (总溶解固体)
  TDS基本上是无机盐等矿物质和溶解在水中的少量有机物。 这些通常是钙、镁、钠、钾、碳酸盐、碳酸氢盐、氯化物、硫酸盐和硝酸盐。 大多数实验室报告使用电导率而不是 TDS。 在任何情况下，TDS 都不会表明水是否可饮用。
• Healthy minerals
  Minerals are calcium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, etc. that people need to survive. These essential minerals are insignificantly reduced by carbon blocks.
  健康的矿物质
  矿物质是人们生存所需的钙、钾、镁、氯等。这些必要的矿物质在碳块的作用下微乎其微地减少。
• hardness
  Hard water (called on lime) is water with a high concentration of calcium and magnesium. Hard water is usually an advantage for drinking purposes. However, limescale builds up, which is often perceived as a problem.
  硬度
  硬水（称为石灰水）是指钙和镁浓度较高的水。硬水对于饮用来说通常是一种优势。然而，水垢的堆积，往往被认为是一个问题。
• pH
  The pH value is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of water. A pH of 6.5-8.5 is considered normal and your body adjusts the pH to the normal state of the body (blood = pH 7.4) after drinking. There is no known health risk related to pH within the legal range.
  pH值
  pH值是衡量水的酸度或碱度的一个标准。6.5-8.5的pH值被认为是正常的，饮用后你的身体会将pH值调整到身体的正常状态（血液=pH7.4）。在法定范围内，没有已知的与pH值有关的健康风险。

Independent laboratory tests to confirm that the filter is working.
独立的实验室测试，以确认净水器的工作情况。

Every year we conduct laboratory tests with third party laboratories. Here is an overview of one of these tests, carried out by SimpleWater, one of the most famous laboratories in the world, in Los Angeles, USA, in the period 2018-2019 *. The link below the table has the full list of substances with external sources by the laboratory to verify the claims.
我们每年都会与第三方实验室进行实验室测试。以下是其中一项测试的概述，由世界上最著名的实验室之一SimpleWater在美国洛杉矶进行，时间为2018-2019年*。表格下面的链接有该实验室验证声称的具有外部来源的全部物质清单。
