Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — often called TDS, dissolved solids, or dissolved salts — refers to the blend of minerals, salts and small metals that are dissolved in your tap water. These dissolved materials can originate from natural sources like soil and rock or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS rises, homeowners may detect a salty, metallic or bitter taste and notice spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measure of everything dissolved in the water rather than a single substance, the right approach depends on which ions are present in your supply in Bon Ami.
High levels of TDS are often driven by dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, along with other small ions. While many of those are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and be tough on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You might also see faster scale buildup, film on shower doors, or soap that won’t lather as well. A proper test will measure total dissolved solids and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause of issues in your Bon Ami home.
If your aim is to actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions that make up high TDS. That capability makes reverse osmosis well suited to tackling dissolved solids from a variety of sources. When homeowners in Bon Ami ask for a solution specifically targeting TDS, RO is the filter designed to do that job.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry treats water for every tap, shower and appliance in the home. Because RO membranes can be sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are commonly 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 consistent throughout your Bon Ami household. Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and needs.
