Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, usually called TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals dissolved into your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil or from processes in treatment and distribution. When TDS rises, homeowners sometimes detect a salty, metallic or bitter flavor and more spotting on fixtures and glass. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved substances rather than a single contaminant, the best remedy depends on which compounds are contributing to the total.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. Although many are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and can be tough on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may notice faster scale buildup, soap that won’t lather well, or film on shower doors. A test that measures overall TDS can help determine whether dissolved salts are the main issue in your Bean City home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that primarily improve taste and cut many organic contaminants, RO relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That capability makes RO well suited to tackle dissolved solids from a variety of sources, which is why homeowners seeking a system specifically aimed at TDS are usually directed to RO.
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 Bean City residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are normally installed with prefiltration to protect performance and lengthen membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the home — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO is the right solution for your plumbing and needs.
