Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals that are dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids originate from natural sources like rock and soil as well as from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS climbs, homeowners often notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measure of many compounds rather than a single substance, the right approach for a Curtis Mill household depends on which dissolved components are present.
High TDS levels are commonly caused by dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small ions. Although some are simply naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less pleasant and place extra wear on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may notice faster scale buildup, soap that won’t lather as well, or a film on shower doors. A proper test will show the total TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause in your Curtis Mill 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 reduce many organic chemicals, RO employs a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach makes reverse osmosis a good choice for handling dissolved solids from a variety of sources. When Curtis Mill homeowners want a solution targeted to TDS specifically, RO is the technology designed for that task.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so lower TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Curtis Mill home. 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 house.
