Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS, is the combined amount of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS rises, Norfleet homeowners might notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on fixtures and glass. Because TDS is a measurement of many different constituents rather than a single contaminant, the best approach depends on what’s actually making up the dissolved load.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While some are routine minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and can stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also see faster scale buildup, cloudy glassware, film on shower doors and soap that won’t lather as well. A TDS test can measure the overall level and help determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause in your Norfleet residence.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic chemicals, RO employs a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO a strong choice for addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources. When Norfleet homeowners want a system specifically targeted at TDS reduction, RO is the technology designed for that task.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Norfleet home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these 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 consistent throughout the house.
