Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and dissolved metals present in your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil or can be introduced during treatment and through distribution pipes. When TDS counts are high, homeowners often notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and increased spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many substances rather than a single contaminant, the best response depends on which dissolved materials are contributing to the elevated reading here in Green Point.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts and ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small dissolved particles. While some are normal minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. You might notice faster scale buildup, film on shower doors, or soap that won’t lather well. A professional test will show overall TDS and indicate whether dissolved salts are the primary cause of issues in your Green Point home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the single most effective 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 the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes reverse osmosis especially well-suited for addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources; when Green Point homeowners want a filter targeting TDS specifically, RO is the recommended choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the main entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Green Point residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are commonly paired with prefiltration to protect the membrane and lengthen its life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs consistently across the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO is the right solution for your plumbing and household needs.
