Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil, or enter through treatment and distribution. When TDS rises, you might notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and more spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS measures the total dissolved load rather than a single chemical, the best solution depends on which salts or ions are present in your Pine Hills supply.
High TDS is commonly driven by dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. Many of these are minerals you expect in hard, mineral-rich water like that found around the Orlando area, and they can make water less appealing to drink and tougher on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also see faster scale buildup on faucets and shower heads, film on shower doors, and soap that won’t lather as well; testing can reveal the overall TDS and whether dissolved salts are the main cause in your Pine Hills home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single-filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that primarily improve taste and reduce many organics, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources; when homeowners ask for a filter designed specifically to target TDS, reverse osmosis is the go-to choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Pine Hills property. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, 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 feels more consistent throughout the home; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and household needs.
