Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural rock and soil, or from treatment and distribution systems serving Orange County neighborhoods like Conway and nearby Lake Como. When TDS rises, you might notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and extra spotting on faucets and glass. Because TDS measures the total concentration rather than a single pollutant, the right solution depends on which minerals and ions are present.
High TDS levels are often made up of dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In central Florida’s hard-water areas, those minerals can make water less pleasant to drink and accelerate scale buildup on water-using appliances, fixtures and shower doors. You may also notice soap not lathering as well or a filmy residue after drying; testing can reveal overall TDS and show whether dissolved salts are driving the issue in your Conway home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, reverse osmosis (RO) is the most effective single-filter technology. Unlike standard carbon filters, RO relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions that make up high TDS, so it’s well suited for addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources. When homeowners specifically want to target TDS, RO is the technology designed to do that job.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry treats every tap, shower and appliance in your Conway home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are usually paired with prefiltration to protect performance and lengthen 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 help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
