Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the collective term for the minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural geology, such as rock and soil, or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS is elevated you might notice a metallic, salty or bitter flavor and more spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many things rather than a single contaminant, the right fix depends on which dissolved salts and ions are present in your supply.
High TDS is often driven by dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate plus other small ions. In humid subtropical South Florida—where Floresta Estates homeowners typically deal with hard water—those minerals can contribute to faster scale buildup, soap that won’t lather well, and mineral film on shower doors and fixtures. A TDS test can tell you the overall dissolved solids level and whether salts are the main cause of the issues you’re seeing.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filtration technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that 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. For homeowners focused specifically on reducing dissolved solids, RO is the filtration method built for that purpose.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your Floresta Estates home treats water at the point of entry so lower TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems commonly include prefiltration to protect performance and lengthen membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue, and behaves more consistently around the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO is the right solution for your plumbing and needs.
