Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the term for the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids may come from natural sources — like the rock and soil in Central Florida — or from treatment and distribution systems. When TDS levels are high, homeowners often notice a salty, bitter or metallic taste and increased spotting on faucets, shower doors and glass. Because TDS measures many different dissolved substances rather than one specific contaminant, the right fix depends on what’s actually making up the dissolved load in your Alafaya plumbing.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small ions. In hard-water areas like Alafaya and greater Orange County, those minerals can accelerate scale on water-using appliances, leave film on showers and make soap less effective. A TDS test will tell you the overall level and help determine whether dissolved salts are driving the symptoms you see around your home.
To lower dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO a good match for treating dissolved solids from diverse sources in Alafaya households. When homeowners want a system aimed specifically at TDS reduction, RO is the proven option.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry delivers reduced TDS to every tap, shower and appliance throughout your Alafaya home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are typically paired with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries and feels more consistent across the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water, confirm whether TDS is an issue, and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
