Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the blend of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids originate from natural sources such as rock and soil and from treatment or distribution processes. When TDS rises, you might detect a salty, metallic or bitter taste and notice spots or film on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures the total mix rather than a single substance, the best approach depends on which dissolved salts or ions are present in your system.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In a hard-water area such as much of Miami-Dade, those minerals can accelerate scale buildup on plumbing and appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also see soap that won’t lather well, cloudy glassware, or a film on shower doors. A water test will show overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause.
To actually reduce dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, reverse osmosis (RO) is the most effective single filter technology. Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well suited for addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources and is the go-to choice when homeowners want a system specifically targeting TDS.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point it enters your Indian Creek Village home so every tap, shower and appliance benefits. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are normally installed 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 house; Mr. Pure Water can help test for elevated TDS and determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and needs.
