Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and small ions dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids may enter your supply from natural sources in the ground or through treatment and distribution systems. When TDS rises, homeowners often notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets, glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different substances rather than a single contaminant, the right approach depends on which dissolved materials are present in your Palmetto Bay water.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other tiny ions. In South Florida’s typically hard municipal water, those minerals can make drinking water less pleasant and accelerate scale formation on water heaters, shower doors and fixtures. You might also notice soap that won’t lather well or a filmy residue after showers. Testing is the reliable way to measure total dissolved solids and determine whether dissolved salts are driving the issue in your Palmetto Bay home.
To actually reduce dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organic compounds, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources; when homeowners want a system that specifically targets TDS, RO is the technology built for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry delivers reduced TDS to every tap, shower and appliance in your Palmetto Bay residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are normally paired with prefilters to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent across the home; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and help determine whether whole-house RO is the right match for your plumbing and household needs.
