Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the blend of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources such as rock and soil, or arise during treatment and distribution. When TDS climbs, many homeowners notice a salty, bitter or slightly metallic taste and increased spotting on faucets, glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved components rather than a single contaminant, the right approach depends on which dissolved materials are present in your Avalon Beach supply.
High TDS typically reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While some of these are normal minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less enjoyable and can stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may notice faster scale buildup, a filmy residue on shower doors, and soap that won’t lather well. A TDS test will tell you the total load and help determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause in your Avalon Beach household.
To actually reduce dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that mostly improve taste and remove some organic chemicals, RO relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions that contribute to high TDS. That makes RO a strong choice for addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources when Avalon Beach homeowners want a filter targeted specifically at TDS.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your home treats water at the point it enters your plumbing so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in Avalon Beach. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels consistent throughout the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help determine if whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and needs.
