Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — called TDS, dissolved solids, or high TDS — is the combined amount of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can enter your supply from natural sources like limestone and soil, or be introduced through treatment and distribution. When TDS rises, you might notice a salty, metallic, or bitter taste and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement rather than one specific contaminant, the right fix depends on which dissolved salts or ions are present in your Kenwood Estates water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions; many are naturally occurring minerals. In places like Kenwood Estates — where Florida’s limestone aquifers commonly produce hard water — elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less pleasant, speed scale buildup, leave films on shower glass, and reduce soap lather. A TDS test will show the overall level and help determine whether dissolved salts are driving the issue in your 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 remove many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. For Kenwood Estates homeowners looking specifically to target TDS, RO is the technology designed to do that job.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system, sized correctly and installed at your point of entry, can reduce TDS throughout every tap, shower and appliance in a Kenwood Estates home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are normally paired with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue, and feels more consistent across the house — and Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO suits your plumbing and needs.
