Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in household water. These dissolved solids come from natural sources like rock and soil and from treatment or distribution systems. When TDS gets high, people sometimes notice a salty or metallic taste and spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measure of all dissolved material rather than a single substance, the ideal response depends on which dissolved salts or ions are present in your water in Coral Hills.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In Coral Hills — where much of South Florida has hard municipal water — elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less pleasant and increase scale formation in water heaters and appliances. You might notice faster buildup of mineral film on shower doors, soap that doesn’t lather as well, or more spotting on dishes. A TDS test will show the overall level and indicate whether dissolved salts are the main contributor.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the single most effective filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organics, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources. When Coral Hills homeowners want a system that targets TDS specifically, RO is the solution designed for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry treats water for every tap, shower and appliance in your Coral Hills home. Because RO membranes can be sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually 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 for high TDS and recommend whether a whole-house RO setup is the right match for your plumbing and household needs.
