Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS or dissolved salts, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and small ions dissolved into your tap water. Those dissolved solids can originate from natural sources such as rock and soil, or from treatment and distribution processes before your water reaches a Dennet household. When TDS levels are elevated, you might notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a broad measurement rather than one single contaminant, the appropriate response depends on which dissolved constituents are present.
High TDS readings are often driven by dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate plus other small ions. Though some are naturally occurring minerals, higher dissolved solids can make water less pleasant to drink and may stress appliances that heat or evaporate water in your Dennet home. You may also see faster scale buildup, cloudy glassware, film on shower doors and soap that won’t lather as well. A water test will show overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main contributor.
To actually reduce dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That capability makes RO the right choice when dissolved solids are the issue. When Dennet homeowners want a system targeted specifically at TDS, RO is the technology designed for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis setup treats water at the point of entry so the reduction in TDS applies to every tap, shower and appliance in your Dennet residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are normally 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.
