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 tap water. These dissolved solids originate from natural sources like rock and soil and can also come from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS is elevated homeowners may detect a salty, metallic or bitter taste and notice more spotting on fixtures and glass. Because TDS is a measurement of many constituents rather than a single contaminant, the right approach depends on exactly which dissolved substances are present in your Golden Lakes water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In Palm Beach County’s generally hard water, those minerals can make drinking water less appealing and put strain on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You might also see accelerated scale buildup, a filmy residue on shower doors, and soap that won’t lather as well. A TDS test will show overall dissolved solids and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main contributor for Golden Lakes homes.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters, which mainly improve taste and reduce many organic chemicals, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners want a system aimed specifically at reducing TDS, RO is the recommended choice.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry treats all taps, showers and appliances so you see the benefits across your Golden Lakes home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine—common factors in mineral-rich Palm Beach County water—these systems are usually paired with prefilters to protect performance and extend membrane life. The result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs consistently throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
