Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — often called TDS, dissolved solids, or dissolved salts — refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and small metals that are dissolved in your home’s water. These dissolved materials can come from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and piping, and when TDS rises people sometimes notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measure of everything dissolved rather than a single substance, the right response for Millview homeowners depends on which ions make up the total load.
High TDS usually reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While many are common minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less enjoyable, shorten the life of appliances that heat or evaporate water, and cause faster scale buildup, cloudy dishes or soap that won’t lather well. A water test around Millview will show overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are driving the issue.
To actually reduce 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 remove many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. For Millview homes where the goal is specific TDS reduction, reverse osmosis is the filter designed to do that job.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry treats every tap, shower and appliance in your Millview home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, whole-house systems are commonly paired with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs more consistently throughout the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
