I am convinced by the arguments set forth that \"disuelto\" definitely is the right adjective for \"dissolved solids\". However, for \"settled deposits\", it would either be \"sólidos asentados or sólidos depositdos\"
see Oxford Dictionary
Look at meaning number 6 with \"sediment\"
settle1 / \"set0 / vt
1 a ‹ price / terms / time › acordar*, fijar; the next game should settle the championship el próximo
partido debería decidir el campeonato; we’ve settled where to go hemos decidido a dónde

vamos a Miami; to settle one’s affairs poner* sus (or mis etc) asuntos en orden; that’s settled
then, we’ll meet at seven bueno, pues entonces ya está, nos vemos a las siete; that settles it: I

b (resolve) ‹ dispute / problem › resolver*, solucionar; it’s about time they settled their
differences ya es hora de que resuelvan or arreglen sus diferencias; the issue is far from settled
el asunto no está ni mucho menos resuelto
c (put an end to) ‹ foolishness / nonsense › (colloq) acabar con; that should settle him! ¡así
aprenderá!
2 ‹ bill / account › pagar*; ‹ debt › saldar, liquidar
3 a ‹ country / region › colonizar*, poblar*
b ‹ colonists › establecer*
4 a (establish) to settle sb (IN sth): he settled his son in banking colocó a su hijo en un banco; he
settled his mother in a house by the sea instaló a su madre en una casa en la costa; we won’t
visit you until you’re settled no iremos a verte hasta que no estés instalado
b (make comfortable) ‹ patient / child › poner* cómodo; she settled herself deep in the sofa se
