Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. Those dissolved solids can come from natural sources—rock and soil around wells—or from treatment and distribution systems. When TDS rises, people often notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and more spotting on glassware and fixtures. TDS isn’t a single contaminant but a measure, so the right approach depends on which dissolved salts and ions are present in your supply, especially if you draw from a private well in the Orsino area near the St. Johns River basin.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While some are naturally occurring minerals, higher levels can make tap water less pleasant and place extra wear on water heaters and appliances that evaporate or heat water. You might notice faster scale buildup, soap that won’t lather, or films on shower doors—signs that testing can clarify by measuring overall TDS and identifying whether dissolved salts are driving the issue in your Orsino home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Whereas carbon filters mainly improve taste and reduce 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 addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners in Orsino ask for a system that targets TDS specifically, RO is the recommended choice.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so TDS reductions apply to every tap, shower and appliance in your Orsino home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are normally 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—Mr. Pure Water can test your water and help determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and household needs.
