Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, covers the mix of minerals, salts and metals that are dissolved into your water. These dissolved solids may originate from natural sources such as rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS rises, homeowners often notice a salty, bitter or metallic flavor and spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of everything dissolved in the water rather than a single contaminant, the best approach depends on which dissolved substances are present in your Angel City supply.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. Although many of these are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less pleasant to drink and can stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. You might also see quicker scale buildup, film on shower doors, or soap that struggles to lather—issues Angel City homeowners in Florida’s humid subtropical climate may want to address. A proper test will show overall TDS and reveal whether dissolved salts are driving the problem.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and cut many organics, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach makes RO well suited to tackling dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners specifically want a system aimed at reducing TDS, reverse osmosis is the intended solution.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Angel City home. Because RO membranes are vulnerable to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually paired with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The overall effect is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the house—Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
