Including filter system and high-performance Sodium filter.
Sodium in your home water often hides because it’s dissolved and clear, so you might only notice it by taste or after a water test. In Lakemont, where many wells draw from the Floridan Aquifer and groundwater tends to be mineral-rich, naturally occurring salts can be part of that mix — and some treatment steps, like certain softeners, can change sodium levels too. If you’re managing a low-sodium diet, it’s helpful to understand what’s in your tap water and whether it fits your household needs.
When sodium is higher, people sometimes detect a faint salty or mineral flavor in drinks and food prepared with local water, such as coffee or soups. Sodium behaves differently than hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium — it won’t create scale the same way — but because it’s dissolved it won’t be captured by a basic sediment filter and boiling won’t remove it either. The clearest step is to get a water analysis tailored to your Lakemont home so any treatment follows the actual results.
The single most effective treatment for reducing sodium is a reverse osmosis system. RO pushes water through a fine membrane that reduces dissolved salts and ions like sodium, unlike many whole-house carbon or sediment stages that only catch particles or organics. For households drawing hard, mineral-rich water from the Floridan Aquifer, a correctly sized RO system can provide low-sodium water at taps used for drinking and cooking.
Because reverse osmosis separates dissolved minerals from the water, it’s typically set up as a dedicated point-of-use system for your kitchen or other taps where sodium reduction matters most. Whole-house carbon filters do a great job with chlorine, odors, and many organics but won’t remove sodium. Also keep in mind that some water softeners can raise sodium in treated water, so pairing RO with the right prefiltration and configuration is often the best approach for Lakemont homes. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the proper RO sizing and pretreatment to keep the system efficient and suited to your house.
