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 metals dissolved in household water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil, or from treatment and distribution processes, and in Lakeview — where many homes rely on groundwater — mineral content can vary by neighborhood and source. When TDS levels rise, you might notice a metallic, bitter or slightly salty taste and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different constituents rather than a single contaminant, the right treatment depends on which dissolved materials are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, plus other small ions. While some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and can be tough on water heaters, kettles and other appliances that concentrate or evaporate water. You may also notice faster scale buildup, cloudy spotting, film on shower doors and soap that won’t lather well. In Lakeview, where well sources and municipal wellfields can differ, testing your water will show total TDS and whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the single most effective filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical 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. That membrane-based approach is well suited to addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources, so when Lakeview homeowners want a system specifically targeting TDS, RO is the technology designed for the job.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your Lakeview 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, these systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect performance and lengthen membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries and feels more consistent throughout the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine if whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and needs.
