Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — often called TDS or dissolved salts — refers to the mix of minerals, salts and small metals carried in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural groundwater moving through rock and soil or from processes in treatment and distribution. When TDS rises, you might notice a metallic, salty or bitter flavor and more spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different substances rather than a single contaminant, the best approach depends on which dissolved materials are present in your Geneva water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small ions. In Seminole County’s mineral-rich groundwater — where hard water is common — elevated dissolved solids can make tap water taste off and shorten the life of appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also see accelerated scale buildup, cloudy spots on shower doors, and soap that won’t lather well. A proper test will measure overall TDS and reveal whether those dissolved salts are driving the issue in Geneva homes.
When the goal is to actually remove dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, reverse osmosis (RO) is the most effective single-filter technology. Unlike standard carbon filters that primarily improve taste and reduce some organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That capability makes RO a strong choice for addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources when Geneva homeowners need a filter targeted specifically at TDS.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry delivers reduced TDS to every tap, shower and appliance in your Geneva home. Because RO membranes can be sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are usually paired with prefilters to protect performance and extend membrane life — an important consideration in areas of Seminole County with hard water. 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 if whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
