Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the collective term for the minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil, or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS is high, homeowners may detect a salty, metallic or bitter taste and notice more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different constituents rather than one single contaminant, the right approach depends on which dissolved salts and ions are present in your water in City Point.
Elevated TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, plus other small ions. In City Point’s humid subtropical climate and hard-water conditions, higher dissolved solids can make drinking water less pleasant and shorten the life of water-using appliances. You might also see faster scale buildup on faucets and showerheads, cloudy glassware, and soap that won’t lather well. A proper test will measure overall TDS and reveal whether dissolved salts are the main contributor.
To actually lower dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organics, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane to reject dissolved ions that make up high TDS. That membrane-based approach is particularly effective when homeowners in City Point request a system designed specifically to cut TDS levels.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your City Point home treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap and appliance. 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, and feels more consistent across the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO is the right solution for your plumbing and needs.
