Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals that are dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural contact with rock and soil, or from treatment and distribution systems before water reaches your home. When TDS is noticeably high, homeowners sometimes detect a salty, metallic or bitter flavor and see more spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many substances rather than a single contaminant, the right fix depends on identifying what makes up those dissolved solids in your Lakewood Park supply.
High TDS often comes from dissolved salts and small ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate — many of the same minerals that contribute to the hard water common across the Treasure Coast. Elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less pleasant to drink and increase wear on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may notice faster scale buildup on water-using equipment, soap that won’t lather as well, and film on shower doors. A TDS test will show overall dissolved solids and help determine whether salts are the main cause in your Lakewood Park home.
To actively reduce 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. That makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources; when homeowners want a filter specifically aimed at reducing TDS, RO is the technology designed for that purpose.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your Lakewood Park property 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 normally installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout a home in St. Lucie County; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO is the right match for your plumbing and household needs.
