The story about "filterable" may not be true, and I would appreciate confirmation or refutation. It comes from my experience with some oceanographers who insisted "filterable" means "that which is caught on a filter". There is a reason NFR was changed to TSS, I'd appreciate others input - Marshman 04:51, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
This TSS article, and the TDS article, are very confusing to a new reader. What is the proper term for *everything* in the water, aside from the pure water? And then, how is this other-than-water portion divvied up, terminology-wise? Each of these articles should start with such material clearly stated to put the topic in usable context. - 69.87.199.87 ( talk) 10:41, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
"nak lagi crilah sndiri" Why is this phrase in the article? I can find no reference to it online. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.246.202.70 ( talk) 21:00, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
In the article «Total dissolved solids» is written:
«Total dissolved solids are differentiated from total suspended solids (TSS), in that the latter cannot pass through a sieve of two micrometres and yet are indefinitely suspended in solution. The term "settleable solids" refers to material of any size that will not remain suspended or dissolved in a holding tank not subject to motion, and exclude both TDS and TSS. Settleable solids may include larger particulate matter or insoluble molecules.»
But in the TSS article there is no mention about that TSS are those particles which can indifinitely be suspended. Moreover, it is written that in faster moving water the larger particles can be found, and these particles usualy «of interest». Of course, these larger particles WILL settle when the water will stop moving. -- 217.67.117.64 ( talk) 10:32, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
I propose a merge with TDS to clear up the problems described on this page and on TSS. Longer post on the topics can be found on the TDS talk. Morphriz ( talk) 07:31, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
