Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS or dissolved salts, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals that are dissolved in your tap water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources — like the rocks and soils that feed Broward County’s groundwater — as well as from water treatment and distribution systems. When TDS climbs high, many homeowners notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measure of many different dissolved components rather than a single contaminant, the right approach depends on which specific ions are present in your supply.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In Broward County, where water is often hard, those minerals can make drinking water less enjoyable and accelerate scale buildup in plumbing and appliances. You may also notice film on shower doors, soap that won’t lather as well, and faster mineral deposits on faucets and fixtures. A water test that reports overall TDS and identifies dominant ions will clarify whether dissolved salts are the main issue in your home.
To actually reduce dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO the go-to choice when homeowners want a system specifically designed to address dissolved solids regardless of source.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry can lower TDS for every tap, shower and appliance in your Broward County home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are commonly paired with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The overall result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can arrange testing and help determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing, water hardness and household needs.
