Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS or dissolved salts, refers to the blend of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS gets high, you might taste a salty, bitter or metallic note and notice spots on glassware or fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved substances rather than a single contaminant, the best solution depends on which dissolved materials are present in your McLellan water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts and ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small dissolved particles. While some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and strain appliances that heat or evaporate water, accelerating scale buildup and leaving film on shower doors. You may also find soap doesn’t lather as well. A proper test will show overall TDS and reveal whether dissolved salts are the primary cause in your McLellan household.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That capability makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources — and when homeowners in McLellan ask for a filter targeted at TDS, RO is the recommended choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS affects every tap, shower and appliance in your McLellan home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, dries with less residue and feels more consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
