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 dissolved metals present in water. These dissolved solids may come from natural rock and soil, or enter your supply through treatment and distribution. When TDS is high, many homeowners notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a broad measurement rather than one specific contaminant, the right approach depends on what’s actually composing the dissolved load in your Pelican Marsh home.
Elevated TDS often reflects dissolved salts and ions like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate—minerals that also contribute to hard water common in Southwest Florida. High dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and accelerate scale buildup on heaters, faucets and appliances, leaving film on shower doors and reducing soap lather. A proper water test will show overall TDS and help pinpoint whether dissolved salts are the main issue affecting your Pelican Marsh plumbing and fixtures.
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 remove many organic compounds, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO the go-to choice when homeowners in Pelican Marsh ask for a system specifically designed to address dissolved solids.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so lowered TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Pelican Marsh residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are typically installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs consistently across the home—Mr. Pure Water can assess your water, confirm whether high TDS is present, and recommend whether whole-house RO fits your needs.
