Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources — like limestone aquifers common to Miami-Dade County — or from treatment and distribution systems. When TDS levels are higher, homeowners sometimes notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and spotting on faucets, glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement that counts many dissolved constituents, the best remedy depends on which salts and minerals are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, plus other small ions. In Kendall’s hard-water environment those minerals can make drinking water less pleasant and accelerate scale on water heaters, showerheads and appliances. You might also see soap that won’t lather well, film on shower doors, or faster buildup on kettles — testing your water will reveal total TDS and whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actively remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters, which mainly improve taste and remove many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach is well suited to tackling dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners want a system focused specifically on TDS reduction, RO is the go-to choice.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at your Kendall property treats water at the main line so every tap, shower and appliance benefits from reduced TDS. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are commonly paired with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue on glass and fixtures, and feels more consistent across your home — Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and help determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your needs.
