Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, usually called TDS, refers to the blend of minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in your water. Those dissolved solids may originate from natural sources such as rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS is elevated, homeowners in Lois sometimes notice a slightly salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved substances rather than a single contaminant, the best response depends on exactly which materials make up the dissolved load.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other tiny ions. While some of these are routine minerals, higher levels of dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and can stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also see faster scale buildup, cloudy spots on shower doors, or soap that won’t lather as well. A proper test will measure total TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause of issues in your Lois home.
If your priority is to actually remove 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 reduce many organic contaminants, RO employs a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions that drive high TDS. That makes reverse osmosis well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources. When Lois homeowners ask for a system that specifically targets TDS, RO is the technology designed for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so the reduction in TDS applies to every tap, shower and appliance in your Lois residence. Because RO membranes can be sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are commonly paired with prefiltration to protect performance and lengthen membrane life. The combined setup produces water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and delivers consistent results throughout the house—Mr. Pure Water can assess your plumbing and recommend whether whole-house RO is the right fit.
