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 water. In East Mims and the surrounding Brevard County area, these dissolved solids can originate from groundwater moving through rock and soil or from treatment and distribution effects. When TDS climbs high, you might notice a salty, metallic, or bitter flavor and more spotting on faucets, glass, or dishes. Because TDS is a broad measurement rather than one specific contaminant, the best approach depends on which dissolved substances are present.
High TDS levels are often driven by dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In a humid subtropical place like East Mims that relies on groundwater, those minerals can contribute to scale on water heaters and fixtures and to thin biofilms inside plumbing. You may also notice film on shower doors, reduced soap lathering, or faster scale buildup on appliances that heat or evaporate water. A TDS test will measure the total load and help pinpoint whether dissolved salts are the main issue in your home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters, which mainly improve taste and reduce some organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO a strong choice for treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources common to East Mims groundwater. When homeowners want a filter aimed specifically at reducing TDS, RO is the technology 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 East Mims home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are normally paired with prefiltration to protect membrane life and maintain performance. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the house—helpful in our moderate-hardness groundwater and humid climate. Mr. Pure Water can test your supply, confirm whether TDS is a concern, and advise if a whole-house RO setup fits your plumbing and household needs.
