Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your tap water. These dissolved solids can enter water from natural contact with rock and soil or through treatment and piping. When TDS is high, you might notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on glass and fixtures around your Gibson home. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved components rather than a single contaminant, the best response depends on which dissolved substances are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts and small ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other dissolved materials. While some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and can strain appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also see quicker scale buildup, a filmy residue on shower doors, or soap that won’t lather as well in your Gibson bathrooms. A water test can measure overall TDS and reveal whether dissolved salts are the primary cause.
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 reduce many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO a strong choice for addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources. When Gibson homeowners ask for a system targeted at TDS, reverse osmosis is the technology built for that task.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Gibson residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels consistent throughout the home—Mr. Pure Water can test your water and help determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and household needs.
