Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — often shown as TDS — refers to the blend of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural contact with rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes before water reaches your tap. When TDS rises, many homeowners notice a metallic, salty or bitter flavor and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measure of many different constituents rather than a single substance, the right response depends on which dissolved salts and ions are present in your Felkel water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While some are normal minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and put extra strain on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also notice quicker scale buildup, soap that won’t lather well, and film on shower doors or fixtures around your home in Felkel. A TDS test will show the overall level and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters, which mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That rejection makes RO the go-to choice when homeowners in Felkel want a system specifically designed to reduce dissolved solids.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry treats every tap, shower and appliance in your Felkel home so reductions in TDS are felt throughout the house. Because RO membranes can be sensitive to sediment and chlorine, whole-house installations are usually paired with prefilters to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs consistently across your plumbing — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine if whole-house RO is the right solution for your needs.
