Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — often called TDS, dissolved salts, or high TDS — refers to the blend of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS rises, many homeowners notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and more spotting on fixtures and glass. Because TDS is a measurement of everything dissolved in the water rather than a single contaminant, the right solution depends on which dissolved constituents are present in your Hickory Hill supply.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. Although some are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less pleasant and stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also notice faster scale buildup, film on shower doors and soap that won’t lather as well. A proper test will measure overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause of issues in your Hickory Hill home.
If your goal is lowering dissolved salts and reducing total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that primarily improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO uses a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO a strong choice for treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources — the go-to option when Hickory Hill homeowners ask for a system designed specifically to target TDS.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so lowered TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Hickory Hill residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect membrane life and maintain performance. The practical result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can help test for high TDS and determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
