Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the collective term for the minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids may come from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS is elevated, you might notice a metallic, salty or bitter flavor and extra spotting on glasses and fixtures around your Homestead Ridge home. Because TDS measures the total amount of dissolved material rather than a single substance, the best fix depends on which specific dissolved salts or minerals are present.
High TDS usually reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, along with other small ions. Though some are harmless minerals, higher levels can make tap water less enjoyable to drink and can shorten the life of appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also find faster scale buildup, cloudy dishes, film on shower doors, and soap that won’t lather as well in Homestead Ridge households. A water test will show your overall 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 technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from diverse sources. When homeowners in Homestead Ridge want a solution that specifically targets TDS levels, RO is the technology designed for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so the reduction in TDS applies to every tap, shower and appliance in your Homestead Ridge residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, whole-house installs are normally paired with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels consistent throughout the home — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and household needs.
