Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the term for the blend of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids can come from natural contact with rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS levels are high, some Pace homeowners notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and spotting on faucets, glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many constituents rather than one single contaminant, the right approach depends on which dissolved substances are present.
High TDS usually reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate plus other small ions. While several of these are common minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and increase wear on water heaters, kettles and other appliances that concentrate minerals. You might also see faster scale buildup, soap that doesn’t lather well, or a filmy residue on shower glass—testing is the way to measure overall TDS and determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause.
If you want to actually lower dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters, which mainly improve taste and remove many organic contaminants, RO relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions that drive high TDS. That capability makes RO a strong choice for treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners ask for a system tailored to TDS reduction, RO is the recommended option.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so every tap, shower and appliance in your Pace home benefits from lower TDS. 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 is the right solution for your plumbing and household needs.
