Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the minerals, salts and small metals that are dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids can come from natural geology, treatment processes, or distribution plumbing. When TDS rises you might notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets, glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different compounds rather than one specific contaminant, the best remedy depends on which dissolved substances are present in your supply in Kern.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While some of these are ordinary minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less enjoyable, shorten the life of water-heating appliances, and contribute to scale, soap scum and cloudy dishes. A simple TDS test will show the overall dissolved load and help pinpoint whether salts are driving the issue in your Kern residence.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single-filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike 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. For Kern homeowners specifically seeking a system that targets TDS, RO is the filtration type designed to do that job.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so the reduction in TDS applies to every faucet, shower and appliance around your Kern home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, whole-house installations usually include prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue, and feels more consistent throughout the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO is the right solution for your plumbing and household needs.
