Including filter system and high-performance Sodium filter.
Sodium in household water is often invisible, so many Orsino homeowners only notice it when the taste changes or a private well test flags it. It can enter well water naturally as it moves through mineral-rich soils and rock, and some treatment steps — including certain softening methods — can raise sodium levels. If you’re managing a low-sodium diet, understanding what’s in your water supply in Brevard County is a helpful part of the picture.
People sometimes report a slightly salty or mineral taste when sodium is higher, which becomes obvious in coffee, tea, soups, or baby formula. Sodium behaves differently than hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium, so it won’t produce the same scale buildup, but it still changes flavor because it’s fully dissolved. Simple sediment filters or boiling won’t remove dissolved sodium — the clearest path is a proper water analysis and a treatment plan tailored for your Orsino well or supply.
The most effective single option for reducing sodium is a reverse osmosis system. RO uses a fine membrane to reduce dissolved salts and ions — including sodium — rather than just trapping particles. That makes it especially useful in homes around the St. Johns River basin where private wells are common. A correctly sized RO unit can provide low-sodium water for drinking and cooking, where it makes the biggest difference.
Because reverse osmosis separates dissolved minerals from water, it’s usually installed as a dedicated system for a kitchen tap or other point-of-use where sodium reduction matters most. Whole-house carbon filters do a great job with chlorine, tastes, and many organics, but they don’t remove sodium. If your home uses a water softener, be aware some softeners can add sodium to treated water, so pairing softening with an RO for drinking water is often a smart choice. Mr. Pure Water in Orsino can help pick the right RO size and prefiltration to keep the system efficient and suited to your home.
