Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — also called TDS, dissolved solids, or dissolved salts — refers to the mix of minerals, salts and small ions dissolved in your water. These dissolved materials can originate naturally from rock and soil or enter through treatment and distribution systems. When TDS rises, homeowners in Olympia Heights may notice a salty, bitter or metallic taste and spotting on glass and fixtures; because TDS is a measurement rather than one specific substance, the right treatment depends on what’s actually in the dissolved load.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other tiny ions. Many of those are common minerals, but elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and put extra strain on water heaters, fixtures and appliances — an important point for Olympia Heights homes where hard municipal water and scale buildup are already common. You may also see faster scale, film on shower doors, and soap that won’t lather as well; a TDS test can show overall levels and whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
If your priority is 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 many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. For homeowners in Olympia Heights seeking a filter targeted specifically at TDS, RO is the technology built for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so every tap, shower and appliance in your Olympia Heights home benefits from reduced TDS. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are commonly installed with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, dries with less residue and feels more consistent across the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your supply and determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
