Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and small ions dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil in the Florida Panhandle, or from treatment and distribution systems before the tap. When TDS levels are high, you might detect a salty, metallic or bitter taste and notice spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of everything dissolved rather than a single contaminant, the best solution depends on which minerals or salts are present in your supply to Keri homes.
High TDS typically indicates dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, plus other small ions. Many of these are common minerals, but elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and contribute to faster scale buildup on water heaters and fixtures. In places around Okaloosa County and the Crestview area, that mineral content can show up as film on shower doors or soap that won’t lather as well. A proper water test will measure overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are driving the issue in your Keri property.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic compounds, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and it’s the go-to option when homeowners ask for a filter specifically targeting TDS.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your Keri home treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
