Including filter system and high-performance Selenium filter.
Selenium is a naturally occurring element that can dissolve from rocks and soils or enter water through human activities. While small amounts are part of normal nutrition, homeowners shouldn’t rely on tap water as a controlled source, so elevated concentrations are something to take seriously. Because you can’t see or taste selenium in your water, testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present in your Maitland supply before choosing treatment.
Selenium can exist in several chemical forms, and those differences affect how easily it can be removed. Many whole-house systems that target chlorine, odor, or sediment won’t capture dissolved contaminants like selenium. That’s why we start by assessing your water chemistry — in Maitland and the broader Orange County area the water tends to be hard, which influences treatment choices — then select media and equipment matched to the specific form of selenium in your water so you get protection at every faucet.
For whole-house protection, the most effective single filter type for reducing selenium is a reverse osmosis system engineered for point-of-entry installation. Reverse osmosis relies on a semipermeable membrane to separate dissolved contaminants like selenium that basic carbon filters don’t reliably remove. A correctly designed whole-house RO includes prefiltration to guard the membrane from sediment and chlorine, helping ensure consistent performance for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry across your Maitland home.
Because selenium’s behavior depends on its chemical form and your water’s overall makeup, a whole-house RO needs to be sized and configured to your household flow and source conditions. Pretreatment reduces membrane fouling and scaling—an important consideration in hard Orlando-area water—and regular maintenance preserves removal efficiency. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your Maitland property, recommend the right whole-house reverse osmosis setup, and install it so you get reliable selenium reduction without compromising everyday use.
