Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the blend of minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in household water. These dissolved solids can come from natural interactions with rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS levels are high, many Florida homeowners — including those in New York — notice metallic, salty, or bitter flavors and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many constituents rather than a single contaminant, the right treatment depends on which dissolved substances are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts and ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small dissolved substances. While some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less enjoyable, reduce soap lathering and speed scale buildup on water heaters, kettles and shower doors. A proper test will report overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause in your New York home.
To actually reduce dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single-filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that mainly remove taste and many organics, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach is well suited to addressing a broad range of dissolved solids, which is why homeowners asking for a filter aimed at TDS are usually steered toward RO.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point it enters your Florida home so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in New York residences. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are typically paired with prefiltration to protect the membrane and prolong its life. The overall effect is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs 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.
