Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the blend of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in household water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil, as well as from treatment and the distribution system. When TDS is high, you might notice a salty, metallic or bitter flavor and spotting on glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved constituents rather than a single chemical, the best way to address it depends on which salts and ions are present in your Princeton water.
High TDS usually reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small ions. In places with hard municipal water like Miami-Dade County, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less pleasant and accelerate scale buildup in plumbing and appliances. You may also see soap that won’t lather well, film on shower doors, or faster mineral spotting; a water test will show overall TDS and reveal whether dissolved salts are driving the issue in your Princeton home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that primarily improve taste and remove many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach makes RO well suited to treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners in Princeton ask for a system that targets TDS specifically, RO is the recommended solution.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry treats every tap, shower and appliance so the benefits reach the whole Princeton home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are normally paired with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs more consistently across the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and household needs.
