Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS, refers to the blend of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources — such as the rock and soil beneath Brevard County — or from treatment and distribution systems. When TDS is elevated, homeowners sometimes notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and more spotting on fixtures and glass. Because TDS is a measure of many different dissolved substances rather than a single contaminant, the right fix depends on which salts or ions make up your water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, plus other small ions. In areas around Mims where many homes use well water and hard water is common, those minerals can make water less pleasant to drink and harder on water heaters and appliances. You may also see quicker scale buildup, soap that won’t lather well, and film on shower doors or dishes. A TDS test will show the overall dissolved solids and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main 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 pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach is well suited for treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners want a system that targets TDS specifically, RO is the technology designed for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry can lower TDS at every tap, shower and appliance in your Mims home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, whole-house RO setups are usually paired with prefilters to protect performance and extend membrane life. The combined system delivers water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
