Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — often shown as TDS, dissolved salts, or dissolved solids — describes the mix of minerals, salts and small ions that are dissolved in your water. These dissolved materials can come from natural contact with rock and soil or from processes in treatment and distribution. When TDS runs high, many homeowners notice a salty, metallic or bitter flavor, and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures the total load rather than a single substance, the right approach for Grayvik homes depends on which dissolved components are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts and minerals such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, plus other small ions. Though some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and can stress water-heating appliances and fixtures. Signs include faster scale buildup, cloudy glassware, soap that won’t lather well, and residue on shower doors. A TDS test will measure the overall level and help determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause in your Grayvik home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single-filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organic compounds, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach makes RO well suited for addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources; when homeowners want a filter that targets TDS specifically, RO is the recommended solution.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reductions in TDS are realized at every tap, shower and appliance in your Grayvik residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, whole-house installations are typically paired with prefilters to protect the membrane and extend its service life. The end result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent around the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
