Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — TDS, dissolved solids, high TDS — refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in household water. These dissolved constituents can come from natural rock and soil in Brevard County, groundwater wells many Ankona homes rely on, or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS gets high you might notice a salty or metallic taste, spotting on glass and fixtures, or other changes in water feel. Because TDS is a measure of many different dissolved components rather than a single contaminant, the best remedy depends on which salts and ions are present.
High TDS is often driven by dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In hard-water areas around the Space Coast, these minerals can make water less pleasant and be tough on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may spot faster scale buildup, cloudy film on shower doors, and soap that won’t lather as well. A proper test will report overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause in your Ankona well or supply.
To actually remove 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 reduce many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well suited for treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources; when homeowners ask for a solution aimed specifically at lowering TDS, RO is the designed choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so TDS reduction reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Ankona residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are commonly installed with prefiltration to protect performance and lengthen membrane life — especially helpful in hard groundwater areas. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the home; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
