Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, is the collective term for minerals, salts and dissolved metals floating in your water. These dissolved solids can enter the supply from natural sources — rock and soil — as well as from treatment and distribution. When TDS gets high, you might detect a metallic, salty or bitter taste and see more spotting on faucets, glass or dinnerware. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved substances rather than a single contaminant, the right remedy depends on which dissolved constituents are present in your Buenaventura Lakes home’s water.
Elevated TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small ions. In Central Florida, where water tends to be hard and mineral-rich, those dissolved salts can make drinking water less pleasant and accelerate limescale buildup in heaters, dishwashers and fixtures. You may also notice film on shower doors, reduced soap lathering, and faster scale in plumbing. A proper test will report overall TDS and point to whether dissolved salts are driving the issue in your Buenaventura Lakes residence.
To actually lower dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, reverse osmosis (RO) is the single filter technology most effective for the job. Unlike basic carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organic compounds, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. Because RO targets the ions that make up dissolved solids, it’s the go-to choice when homeowners specifically want a system designed to reduce TDS.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your Buenaventura Lakes home treats water at the point of entry so lower TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance. RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, so systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The payoff is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and helps reduce scale in hard-water areas; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
