Including filter system and high-performance Silica filter.
Silica is a naturally occurring mineral that can appear in tap water as dissolved silica or as silicates. You might not notice a change in taste, but silica can cause persistent annoyances in Aurantia households: when water heats or evaporates it can leave behind hard-to-remove deposits. That shows up as more spotting on glassware, mineral buildup on faucets and fixtures, and reduced efficiency in hot-water appliances around the home.
Dissolved silica is chemically stable and can be harder to treat than the usual hardness minerals, so standard softeners that target calcium and magnesium often won’t remove it effectively. Some silica also exists as very fine particulates, which behave differently from dissolved silicates. In Aurantia, where local water reports may vary, that means you can still see silica-related buildup even if other water issues seem under control.
For most homes the single most effective whole-house option for reducing silica is a reverse osmosis system. RO uses a semipermeable membrane to filter out many dissolved minerals, including silica and silicates, rather than merely trapping larger particles. That makes reverse osmosis particularly suited to handling the dissolved forms that can pass through sediment or carbon filters, helping address the source of those stubborn deposits.
A whole-house reverse osmosis installation is normally accompanied by pretreatment stages to protect the membrane and maintain performance. Sediment and activated carbon filters reduce fouling and remove substances that could interfere with the RO stage, and pretreatment also helps capture any fine particulate silica before it reaches the membrane. Mr. Pure Water can work with Aurantia homeowners to test for silica or silicates and recommend the right pretreatment and RO configuration for your property.
