Including filter system and high-performance Potassium filter.
Potassium is a naturally occurring mineral that can turn up in well water around Mims and, less commonly, in some municipal supplies. It’s normal in small amounts, but higher concentrations may be important for people who must limit dietary potassium for health reasons. Water picks up potassium as it travels through soil and rock, and levels can also be affected by runoff or treatment chemicals. Because potassium typically has no taste or odor, the only reliable way to know if it’s in your water is through testing.
Many Brevard County homeowners first learn about potassium when a lab report lists it while they’re checking overall mineral content—alongside sodium, chloride, or total dissolved solids. Potassium usually exists as dissolved ions, so it stays in solution instead of settling out like sediment. That means sediment filters won’t remove it, and many standard carbon “taste and odor” filters won’t either. If you’re concerned about potassium in your Mims well or tap water, start with a water test that identifies its level and chemical form.
To reduce potassium throughout your home, the most effective single-filter choice is a whole-house reverse osmosis system. RO systems use a semipermeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions—including potassium—rather than just trapping particles. Because potassium is dissolved in the water, a separation process like reverse osmosis is required to meaningfully lower concentrations. A correctly sized whole-house RO treats water before it reaches faucets and showers, so every tap in your Mims home benefits.
Whole-house reverse osmosis installations in the Space Coast area are usually paired with prefiltration to remove sediment and protect the membrane from chlorine or other disinfectants that can shorten its life. The RO membrane handles potassium reduction while the pre- and post-stages preserve performance and reduce maintenance. Because RO creates a concentrate stream, the system needs an appropriate drain and space for the equipment. Mr. Pure Water can review your Mims water test and household water use to recommend a whole-house RO setup that reliably reduces potassium and fits your home.
