Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the combined minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in your tap water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS becomes noticeable, you might detect a salty, metallic or bitter flavor and see spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS measures the total mix rather than a single chemical, the best approach depends on which dissolved components are present in your Capps water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts and ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, along with other small charged particles. While some are ordinary minerals, higher levels of dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and accelerate scale and residue on appliances and plumbing that heat or evaporate water. In Capps homes you may notice faster scale buildup, film on shower doors, or soap that won’t lather as well; a TDS test will show the overall level and indicate whether salts are the primary cause.
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 remove many organic contaminants, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane approach makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources, so when Capps homeowners want a filter targeted at TDS, RO is the standard recommendation.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Capps home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are normally paired with prefilters to protect performance and extend membrane life. The combined system typically delivers water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs consistently throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
