Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the blend of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural contact with rock and soil or from processes in treatment and distribution. When TDS is high, you might notice a metallic, salty, or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets, glassware and fixtures. Because TDS measures everything dissolved rather than one specific chemical, the best response depends on which salts and ions are present in your supply to Lely Resort homes.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate plus other small ions. In communities served by Collier County municipal water—where hard water is typical—elevated dissolved solids can make water less appealing to drink and accelerate scale forming on water heaters, plumbing and appliances. You may also notice soap not lathering well, film on shower doors, or faster buildup on fixtures; testing your water will show total TDS and whether those dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That targeted rejection makes RO the go-to choice when homeowners specifically want to reduce dissolved solids in their household water.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your Lely Resort property treats water at the point of entry so every tap, shower and appliance benefits. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are usually installed with prefilters to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, dries with fewer spots and feels more consistent across the home; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and daily needs.
