Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources—like South Florida’s limestone aquifer—or from municipal treatment and distribution systems. When TDS gets high, you might notice a salty, bitter or metallic taste and more spotting on faucets and glassware. Because TDS is a measurement that covers many different dissolved substances, the right response depends on which salts or ions are present in your Leisure City water.
High TDS levels are commonly caused by dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, along with other small ions. Though some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and put extra strain on appliances that heat or evaporate water—especially in hard-water areas like Miami-Dade County where scale buildup is common. You may also spot faster scale accumulation, cloudy glassware, film on shower doors and soap that won’t lather as well. A proper test will measure overall TDS and reveal whether dissolved salts are the primary concern for your Leisure City home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters, which mainly improve taste and remove many organic contaminants, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO an appropriate choice for treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources homeowners in Leisure City might encounter.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Leisure City property. Because RO membranes can be sensitive to sediment and chlorine—conditions that can arise in South Florida water—these systems are usually paired with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs more consistently across the home; Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
