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 household water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS climbs, you might detect a salty, bitter or metallic taste and see more spotting on fixtures and glass in your Freemont home. Remember that TDS is a measurement of everything dissolved in the water rather than one specific contaminant, so the right treatment depends on which dissolved constituents are present.
High TDS often means a greater share of dissolved salts — sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate — along with other small ions. While many are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and accelerate wear on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may notice faster scale buildup, cloudy or spotted glassware, film on shower doors, and soap that won’t lather as well. A TDS test will measure the overall dissolved load and help determine whether dissolved salts are driving issues in your Freemont plumbing.
To actually remove dissolved salts and reduce 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 chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO a strong choice for treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources. When Freemont homeowners want a system specifically aimed at lowering TDS, RO is the recommended option.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so the reduction in TDS applies to every tap, shower and appliance in your Freemont residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue, and behaves consistently throughout the house. Mr. Pure Water can test your water for high TDS and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
