Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the blend of minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil, or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS is elevated you might notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets, glass and fixtures around your Oviedo home. Because TDS is a measurement rather than a single contaminant, the right fix depends on which dissolved constituents are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts and ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate. While many of these are common minerals, higher dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and accelerate limescale buildup in water-using appliances—something Oviedo homeowners familiar with hard water may already recognize. You may also see soap that won’t lather well, film on shower doors, and quicker scale on fixtures; testing the water will measure overall TDS and show whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organics, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach is the best single technology for addressing dissolved solids from a range of sources, and it’s the option homeowners ask for when they want to target TDS directly.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS is delivered to every tap, shower and appliance in your Seminole County home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are commonly installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life—important in Oviedo where hard water and limescale can be an issue. The end result 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 help determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and household needs.
