Including filter system and high-performance Sodium filter.
Sodium in household water is usually invisible, so many Hanson homeowners don’t notice it until a change in taste or a lab test reveals it. It can occur naturally as groundwater flows through sodium-bearing soils and rock, and certain treatment steps or softening methods can raise levels as well. If you or someone in your household follows a low-sodium diet, it’s worth understanding what’s in your tap water and whether it contributes to daily intake.
When dissolved sodium is present, people often report a faint salty or mineral flavor in coffee, tea, soups, or when preparing baby formula—small differences homeowners in Hanson might notice. Sodium behaves differently than hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium, so it won’t form the same scale, but it does change taste because it’s dissolved. Simple sediment cartridges or boiling won’t remove sodium; the only way to be sure is a water test followed by a treatment plan matched to your results.
The most effective single-treatment option for reducing sodium is a reverse osmosis system. RO pushes water through a tight membrane that lowers dissolved salts and ions like sodium, which standard whole-house carbon and sediment stages can’t reliably remove. A correctly sized RO installation gives Hanson families low-sodium water for drinking and cooking where it matters most.
Because reverse osmosis separates dissolved minerals from the water, it’s usually set up as a dedicated system for a kitchen faucet or other point-of-use where sodium reduction is important. Whole-house carbon filters are great for chlorine, odors, and many organics, but they aren’t designed to remove sodium. If your Hanson home has a water softener, keep in mind many softeners can raise sodium in treated water, so pairing RO with proper prefiltration is often the best approach. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right RO configuration and prefilters to make the system efficient and fit your household needs.
