Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids can enter water from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. In Creels, homeowners who experience higher TDS often notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many substances rather than a single contaminant, the best remedy depends on which dissolved materials are present.
High TDS often comes from dissolved salts — sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate — along with other small ions. While some of these are normal minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less pleasant and can stress appliances that heat or evaporate water, leading to faster scale buildup, soap scum on shower doors, and poor lathering. A simple TDS test can show overall levels and point toward whether dissolved salts are the main cause in your Creels home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filtration technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that mainly address taste and many organic compounds, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach is well suited to tackling dissolved solids from a variety of sources, so when Creels homeowners want a filter aimed specifically at reducing TDS, RO is the recommended solution.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so lowered TDS affects every tap, shower and appliance in your Creels house. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are usually installed 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 home — and Mr. Pure Water can help determine if whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and needs.
