Including filter system and high-performance Silica filter.
Silica is a naturally occurring mineral that appears in tap water as dissolved silica or as silicates. It may not alter taste, but it can still create frustrating issues around the house. When water heats or evaporates, silica often leaves behind stubborn deposits that are tougher to remove than ordinary mineral scale. Franjo homeowners commonly spot extra film on glassware, buildup on faucets and fixtures, and reduced efficiency in hot-water appliances when silica is present.
Because silica often stays dissolved and chemically stable in water, it doesn’t respond well to the same treatments used for calcium and magnesium. Standard water softeners target hardness minerals but are usually not the best fix for silica. Some silica also exists as fine particulates, which behave differently than dissolved silicates and can bypass basic filters. That means even if other aspects of your Franjo water feel under control, silica-related spotting and buildup can persist.
For most homes the most effective single whole-house option for reducing silica is a reverse osmosis system. RO uses a semipermeable membrane to remove many dissolved minerals, including silica and silicates, instead of merely trapping larger particles. That makes reverse osmosis a strong match for the dissolved forms that pass through sediment or carbon filters. When the system is sized and installed correctly for a Franjo household, it addresses the underlying cause rather than only the visible residue on surfaces.
A whole-house reverse osmosis installation is usually combined with pretreatment to protect the membrane and maintain long-term performance. Sediment and carbon stages reduce fouling and remove materials that could interfere with the RO membrane, while the RO stage handles dissolved silica. If some silica is present as fine particulate, pretreatment helps capture it before it reaches the membrane. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate whether silica or silicates are contributing to buildup in your Franjo home and recommend the right system configuration.
