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 the Floridan aquifer, from treatment and distribution, or from plumbing materials. When overall TDS rises, you might detect a salty, bitter or metallic taste and notice spots or film on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures the combined dissolved material rather than a single substance, the best approach depends on which salts and minerals are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate plus other small ions. In DeBary, where hard water from the Floridan aquifer is common, elevated dissolved solids can make water less pleasant to drink and accelerate mineral scale in water heaters, pipes and fixtures. You may also see more soap scum, cloudy glasses after washing, or reduced lathering. A proper water test will show overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are driving the issue.
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 primarily improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach is well suited to treating a wide range of dissolved solids, so when homeowners want a system specifically targeted at TDS reduction, RO is the recommended choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry treats every tap, shower and appliance in your DeBary home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems commonly include prefilters to protect performance and prolong membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less mineral residue on fixtures and feels more consistent throughout the house — helpful in areas with hard water like much of Volusia County.
