Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources — like the rock and soil around Brevard County and the Space Coast — or from treatment and distribution systems before water reaches your tap. When TDS rises, you might notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and spotting on glass and fixtures around the house. Because TDS is a measurement of many different compounds rather than a single contaminant, the best response depends on which dissolved materials make up the total.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts and minerals such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate — the same minerals that contribute to hard water common in Cocoa. Elevated dissolved solids can make water less pleasant to drink and can accelerate limescale buildup on plumbing and appliances, leaving film on shower doors and making soap less effective. A proper test will report overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause of those issues in your home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that mainly improve taste and cut many organic chemicals, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That capability makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources; when Cocoa homeowners want a system targeted at reducing TDS specifically, RO is the standard recommendation.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so the TDS reduction applies to every tap, shower and appliance in your Cocoa home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are normally 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 throughout the house — Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and household needs.
