Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural contact with rock and soil or from treatment and the plumbing system. When TDS is high, homeowners often notice a salty, metallic or bitter flavor and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures the combined dissolved load rather than a single substance, the best approach depends on which salts or ions are present in your New Harmony supply.
Elevated TDS often comes from dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, along with other small ions. Though some are common minerals, higher levels can make water less pleasant to drink and can shorten the life of appliances that heat or evaporate water. You might see faster scale formation, a filmy residue on shower doors, or soap that won’t lather well. A simple test will measure overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main issue in your New Harmony home.
To actually lower dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, reverse osmosis (RO) is the most effective single filter technology. Unlike typical carbon filters that mostly improve taste and remove many organic contaminants, RO employs a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That capability makes RO well suited to treating a wide range of sources that contribute dissolved solids. When New Harmony homeowners request a system specifically aimed at TDS, RO is the recommended choice.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry delivers TDS reduction to every tap, shower and appliance in your home. Because RO membranes are vulnerable to sediment and chlorine, systems are commonly paired with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the house—Mr. Pure Water can test your New Harmony water and advise whether whole‑house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
