Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS or dissolved salts, describes the blend of minerals, salts and tiny metals dissolved into your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil or enter the system during treatment and distribution. When TDS runs high, many homeowners notice a metallic, bitter or slightly salty taste and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measure of total dissolved material rather than a single substance, the best remedy depends on which dissolved ions are present in your Orange home’s water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, along with other small ions. Although some are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and can stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. You might also see faster scale buildup, soap that won’t lather as well, or film on shower doors and faucets. A TDS test will show the overall dissolved load and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main contributor in Orange households.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That capability makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources. When Orange homeowners request a filter that targets TDS specifically, RO is the technology designed for that job.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so lower TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Orange home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
