Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, is the combined amount of minerals, salts and metals dissolved into your water. These dissolved solids originate from natural contact with rock and soil, and they can also come from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS gets high you might detect a metallic, salty or bitter taste and notice spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures a mixture rather than a single substance, the right fix depends on which dissolved salts and ions are present in your supply.
High TDS usually reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In hard-water areas around Chain O'Lakes and Lake County, those minerals can make drinking water less appealing and accelerate scale on water heaters, faucets and appliances. You may also see a filmy residue on shower doors, quicker limescale buildup, and soap that won’t lather properly. A water test will show overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause.
To actually lower dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, the most effective single-filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organics, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes it a strong choice for addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources when homeowners want a filter specifically designed to target TDS.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so TDS reduction reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Chain O'Lakes home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine—common concerns in Central Florida’s mineral-rich groundwater—these systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The end result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue, and behaves more consistently throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can assess your plumbing, test for TDS, and recommend whether whole-house RO is the right fit.
