Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — commonly called TDS — is the combined amount of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. Those dissolved solids can originate from natural contact with rock and soil or from processes in treatment and distribution. When TDS gets high, you might detect a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on glass and fixtures around the house. Because TDS is a measurement of many different constituents rather than a single contaminant, the best remedy depends on which dissolved materials are present in your Miami Lakes supply.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts and ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small dissolved compounds. While some are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less palatable and accelerate scale in hot-water appliances and on fixtures — a common concern for homes in hard-water, Miami-Dade County communities. You may notice faster mineral buildup, cloudy glassware, film on shower doors, or soap that won’t lather well; water testing will show total TDS and can pinpoint whether dissolved salts are the primary cause.
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 dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a wide range of sources; when Miami Lakes homeowners want a system specifically designed to target TDS, reverse osmosis is the recommended choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats incoming water so the TDS reduction covers every tap, shower and appliance in your Miami Lakes home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine commonly found in municipal supplies, these systems are usually installed with prefilters to protect the membrane and prolong performance. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs more consistently around the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether a whole-house RO setup is the right fit for your plumbing and household needs.
