Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the term used for the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil or from the treatment and distribution processes used by utilities. When TDS rises, you might notice a salty, metallic or bitter flavor and extra spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures the total load rather than a single substance, the right approach depends on which minerals and ions are present in your Hollywood home’s supply.
High TDS is often driven by dissolved salts—sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate among them—plus other small ions. While some are common minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less appealing, accelerate scale buildup in hot water heaters and plumbing, and leave film on shower doors. In South Florida’s hard, warm water conditions, these effects can be more noticeable in Broward County homes. A water test will show total TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actually reduce dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO the recommended choice when homeowners want a solution designed specifically to target dissolved solids.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point it enters your Hollywood property, delivering reduced TDS to every faucet, shower and appliance. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems include 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 homes in neighborhoods from Downtown Hollywood to Hollywood Beach; Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and household needs.
