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 household water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources—like local rock and soil—or from treatment and distribution systems serving Orange County neighborhoods. When TDS runs high, you might detect a salty, metallic, or bitter taste and notice spotting on fixtures and glass. Because TDS is a measurement of many dissolved constituents rather than a single pollutant, the right approach depends on which dissolved materials are present in your Oakland water.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While several are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less enjoyable to drink and increase wear on appliances that heat or evaporate water. In Oakland’s humid subtropical climate and moderate-hardness water region, you may also notice quicker scale buildup, film on shower doors, or soap that won’t lather as well. A TDS test will show the total level and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single-filtration technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that primarily improve taste and reduce many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO a strong choice for treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources around Oakland and the greater Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford area. When homeowners specifically want a solution that targets TDS, RO is the system designed for that purpose.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your home treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in Oakland. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are usually paired with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life—important in Central Florida’s warm, humid environment where maintenance matters. The outcome is cleaner-tasting water that leaves less residue and feels more consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether a whole-house RO system fits your plumbing and household needs.
