Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil or be introduced through treatment and distribution. When TDS rises, homeowners in Hillsboro Pines may notice a salty, metallic or bitter flavor and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a total measurement rather than a single contaminant, the ideal solution depends on which dissolved components are present.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate plus other small ions. In Broward County’s typically hard municipal water this mix can make drinking water less pleasant and accelerate scale in water heaters and appliances. You might also see faster mineral buildup, soap that won’t lather as well, and film on shower doors; testing will reveal overall TDS and whether dissolved salts are the main contributors in your Hillsboro Pines home.
To actively 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 compounds, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. For homeowners wanting a filter specifically targeted at reducing TDS, RO is the technology designed for that purpose.
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 Hillsboro Pines home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine—issues common when treating hard municipal water—systems are usually paired 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 more consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and recommend whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
