Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved into your tap water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like the rock and soil around Brevard County or from municipal treatment and distribution. When TDS levels rise, homeowners often notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement that reflects many different dissolved substances, the right approach depends on which salts and ions are present in your Palm Bay supply.
High TDS often means dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate are present, along with other small ions. In a hard-water area like the Space Coast these minerals can make water less pleasant to drink and accelerate scale buildup on heaters, faucets and appliances. You might notice film on shower doors, faster spotting, or soap that won’t lather as well — all signs testing can help clarify by measuring total dissolved solids and identifying whether dissolved salts are driving the issue in Palm Bay.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters, which mainly improve taste and reduce organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That capability makes RO the go-to option when homeowners specifically want to reduce dissolved solids from a variety of sources serving Palm Bay.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry treats every tap, shower and appliance in your Palm Bay home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine — important considerations given municipal treatment practices on the Space Coast — these 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 behaves consistently throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and help determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
