Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the blend of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your tap water. These dissolved solids can enter water from natural sources like rock and soil or from processes in treatment and distribution systems. When TDS rises, you might notice a salty, bitter or metallic taste and increased spotting on glass and fixtures around your Four Mile Village home. Because TDS is a measurement of many dissolved constituents rather than a single contaminant, the best approach depends on which dissolved elements are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. Though some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and can stress appliances that heat or evaporate water, causing faster scale buildup, film on shower doors and poor soap lathering. A TDS test will show the total level and help determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause of issues in your Four Mile Village plumbing.
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 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 well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners in Four Mile Village want a system aimed specifically at reducing TDS, RO is the recommended choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS affects every tap, shower and appliance in your Four Mile Village home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are commonly installed with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The outcome is water that usually tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries and feels more consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your water and advise whether whole-house RO suits your plumbing and household needs.
