Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — called TDS, dissolved solids, or dissolved salts — refers to the blend of minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved constituents can come from natural sources such as rock and soil or from treatment and distribution systems. When TDS gets high, homeowners in Orlando may notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on fixtures and glass. Because TDS measures the total amount of dissolved material rather than a single substance, the effective solution depends on which ions and salts are present.
High TDS is often driven by dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate plus other small ions. While some are common minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less appealing to drink and can stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. In Central Florida’s humid climate, you might also notice faster scale accumulation, film on shower doors, or soap that won’t lather as well; testing your water will show overall TDS and indicate whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actually reduce 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 remove many organic chemicals, RO employs a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That capability makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources, so when Orlando homeowners want a filter built specifically to target TDS, reverse osmosis is the recommended choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance across your Orlando 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 — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine if whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
