Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, usually called TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. Those dissolved solids can come from natural sources such as rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS levels get high, many homeowners notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures the total amount of dissolved material rather than a single substance, the best approach depends on which specific dissolved salts or ions are present in your Chatham water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and can strain appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also notice faster scale buildup, cloudy glassware, film on shower doors and soap that won’t lather as well. A TDS test can show overall levels and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause in your Chatham home.
To actually remove 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 relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions that make up high TDS. That membrane-based approach is well suited for reducing dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners in Chatham ask for a system that targets TDS specifically, RO is the recommended choice.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry treats every tap, shower and appliance so reductions in TDS are felt throughout your Chatham home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these 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 more consistent across the house—Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and help determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and needs.
