Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the umbrella term for the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. Those dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS rises, you might notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures the combined dissolved material rather than a single substance, the best approach depends on which dissolved salts or ions are present in your Frontenac supply—especially since local water-source conditions in Florida can vary between municipal systems and private wells.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While many of these are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and put extra strain on water heaters, kettles and other appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also notice accelerated scale buildup, cloudy glassware, film on shower doors and soap that doesn’t lather as well. A TDS test will show the total concentration and help determine whether dissolved salts are driving the issue in your Frontenac home.
If your aim is to actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, reverse osmosis (RO) is the most effective single filter technology. Unlike standard carbon units that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well suited to handle dissolved solids from a wide variety of sources. When Frontenac homeowners want a system designed specifically to reduce TDS, RO is the go-to option.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry can lower TDS throughout your Frontenac home so every tap, shower and appliance receives treated water. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, whole-home systems are usually paired with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves fewer mineral residues as it dries, and feels more consistent across the house. Mr. Pure Water can test your plumbing, confirm whether high TDS is present, and recommend whether whole-house RO fits your home and household needs.
