Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — often called TDS, dissolved solids, or dissolved salts — refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and small metals suspended in your water. These dissolved materials can come from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS rises, you might notice a salty, metallic, or bitter taste and spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a single measurement covering many different substances, the best approach depends on which dissolved components are present in your Holiday Manor water.
High TDS is commonly made up of salts and ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, along with other small dissolved particles. Even though some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make tap water taste worse and put extra wear on water heaters and appliances that use or evaporate water. You may also notice increased scale, film on shower doors, and reduced soap lathering. A water test can measure overall TDS and determine whether dissolved salts are the main contributor in Holiday Manor’s moderately hard groundwater.
To actually reduce dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that primarily improve flavor and remove many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO an effective choice for treating dissolved solids from a range of sources commonly found in Florida Panhandle groundwater.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system at the point of entry delivers reduced TDS to every tap, shower and appliance in your Holiday Manor home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs more consistently across the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your supply and determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and needs.
