Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — often called TDS — refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals that are dissolved into your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources such as rock and soil, or be introduced through treatment and the distribution system. When TDS rises, many homeowners notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures the total concentration rather than a single substance, the best remedy depends on which dissolved constituents are present.
High TDS is commonly driven by dissolved salts and small ions like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate. While some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less pleasant and place extra stress on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You might see faster scale buildup, soap that won’t lather as well, or film on shower doors. Testing your water helps determine the overall TDS and whether dissolved salts are the main cause of the issues you’re seeing in Lindgren.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filtration technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters, which 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 membrane-based approach makes RO well suited to addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and it’s the go-to choice when homeowners want a system that targets TDS specifically.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Lindgren home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are commonly paired with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The combined setup produces water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue, and feels more consistent throughout the house—Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO is the right solution for your plumbing and household needs.
