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 your household water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil or be introduced through treatment and distribution. When TDS rises, you might detect a salty, bitter or metallic flavor and notice more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measure of many different dissolved components rather than a single contaminant, the best approach depends on which dissolved salts or ions are present in your Lanark Village water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While several are naturally occurring minerals, elevated total dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also see faster scale buildup, film on shower doors and soap that doesn’t lather as well. A proper test will measure overall TDS and identify whether dissolved salts are driving the issues in your Lanark Village home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach is well suited to treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners ask for a solution that targets TDS specifically, reverse osmosis is the technology designed for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at your Lanark Village point of entry treats water for every tap, shower and appliance. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are commonly paired with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries and feels consistent throughout the home; Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
