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 in your water. These dissolved solids can enter drinking water from natural sources like rock and soil or during treatment and distribution. When TDS gets high, homeowners in Portland may notice a salty, metallic or bitter flavor and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different substances rather than a single contaminant, the best approach depends on which dissolved materials are present.
High TDS often means elevated levels of dissolved salts — sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate — along with other small ions. While some are simply common minerals, higher dissolved solids can make water less appealing to drink and put extra strain on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You might also see faster scale buildup, soap that won’t lather well, or film on shower doors. A professional test can measure total dissolved solids and reveal whether dissolved salts are the primary cause in your Portland home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single-filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes reverse osmosis a strong choice when dissolved solids from a variety of sources are the issue — and it’s the filter homeowners ask for when they want TDS specifically targeted.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so the reduction in TDS applies to every tap, shower and appliance in your Portland residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are normally 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 home; Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
