Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources such as rock and soil or be introduced through treatment and distribution. When TDS climbs high, homeowners around Lake Mary may notice a salty or metallic taste and spotting on faucets, glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved substances rather than a single contaminant, the best approach depends on which minerals or salts are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small ions. In Seminole County’s hard-water area, those minerals can make drinking water less appealing and accelerate scale buildup in water heaters, dishwashers and faucets. You might also see soap that won’t lather well, film on shower doors, or faster scaling on fixtures in neighborhoods from Heathrow to Timacuan. A water test will show total TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
If your aim is to actually reduce dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organic compounds, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO the right choice when homeowners in Lake Mary ask for a system specifically designed to target dissolved solids.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your Lake Mary property treats water at the point of entry so TDS reduction reaches every tap, shower and appliance. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, whole-house RO is usually installed with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend service life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout a home; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
