Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refer to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural contact with rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS rises, you might detect a salty, bitter or metallic taste and notice more spotting on glass and fixtures around your Fish Creek home. Because TDS is a measurement of many different constituents rather than a single contaminant, the best remedy depends on which dissolved substances are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts and ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small dissolved particles. While some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and put extra wear on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also see faster scale formation, cloudy glassware, film on shower doors and reduced soap lather in Fish Creek homes. A TDS test will show the overall level and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
If your aim is 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 works through a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions that drive high TDS. That makes reverse osmosis well suited to address dissolved solids coming from a variety of sources. When Fish Creek homeowners want a system targeted at TDS, RO is the recommended choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats incoming water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Fish Creek residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries and feels consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO is the right solution for your plumbing and needs.
