Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — also listed as TDS, dissolved solids, or dissolved salts — refers to the mix of minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in your water. Those dissolved constituents can originate from native rock and soil, or from treatment and distribution systems, and they influence how water tastes and behaves in your home. When TDS rises, residents often notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets and glass. Because TDS is a measure of many constituents rather than a single contaminant, the right approach depends on which dissolved substances are present in your supply here in Immokalee and Collier County.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In areas with hard groundwater like inland Southwest Florida, those minerals can make drinking water less appealing and increase scale on water heaters, faucets and shower doors. You might also notice soap not lathering well or a filmy residue after showers. A proper test will measure overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause of what you’re seeing in your Immokalee home.
To actually 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 contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes reverse osmosis a strong choice when homeowners ask for a solution that specifically targets dissolved solids in local supplies around Immokalee.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your property treats water at the point of entry so every tap, shower and appliance benefits from reduced TDS. Because RO membranes can be sensitive to sediment and chlorine—common concerns during seasonal rains and with hard groundwater in the Naples–Immokalee–Marco Island area—these systems are usually paired with prefilters to protect the membrane and extend its life. Mr. Pure Water can test your water, recommend properly sized prefiltration, and help confirm whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs in Immokalee.
