Including filter system and high-performance Salty Taste filter.
A salty taste at the kitchen tap can make drinking, cooking and brewing coffee less pleasant, and it often leaves homeowners wondering what’s in their water. That flavor usually comes from dissolved minerals like sodium and chloride that don’t evaporate away. It can also appear if a water softener is over-adding salt, a brine system is misadjusted, or softened water is routed through plumbing in a way that concentrates the salt at some fixtures. Because taste sensitivity varies, even modest mineral shifts may be noticeable in Franjo’s humid subtropical climate where residents rely on good-tasting tap water every day.
Salty notes can differ from house to house depending on source water and treatment before it reaches your pipes. Sometimes the salty flavor is most obvious in hot water, which can happen when a water heater slightly concentrates minerals during heating. You might also notice a slick or mineral feeling, more spotting on glassware, or a lingering aftertaste in tea and coffee. In Franjo it’s a good idea to determine whether the taste originates from the incoming municipal or well supply or from in-home equipment such as a softener or a cartridge filter.
When the salty flavor is due to dissolved salts, reverse osmosis is the single most effective filter type. Unlike carbon filters, which handle chlorine and many odors well but aren’t designed to remove dissolved sodium and chloride, reverse osmosis forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that reduces those minerals. Installed as a whole-house system, it treats water at the point of entry so better-tasting water reaches drinking taps, kitchens, showers and appliances throughout a Franjo home. It’s the right choice when true mineral salinity—not a temporary odor—is the underlying issue.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system is usually combined with prefiltration to protect the membrane and keep performance consistent. Sediment prefilters block sand, silt and rust that could foul the membrane, while carbon prefilters reduce chlorine that can damage some membrane types. Because RO creates a concentrated waste stream, proper discharge plumbing is required, and systems are often paired with storage and re-pressurization to ensure steady flow to all fixtures. Mr. Pure Water can help Franjo homeowners confirm the source of the salty taste and recommend the appropriate whole-house reverse osmosis configuration for their property.
