Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the combined minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids come from natural sources like soil and rock or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS rises, many homeowners notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets and glass. Because TDS is a measurement that reflects many different substances, the right approach depends on exactly what’s contributing to the dissolved load.
High TDS is commonly driven by dissolved salts and small ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate. While some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and put stress on appliances that heat or evaporate water, causing faster scale buildup, soap that won’t lather well, and film on shower doors. A TDS test will show the overall level and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main issue in your New Hope home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, reverse osmosis (RO) is the most effective single filter technology. Unlike standard carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce certain organics, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources, so when New Hope homeowners want a filter specifically targeting TDS, RO is the recommended choice.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your home treats water at the point it enters the plumbing so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in New Hope. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The end result is 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 needs.
