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 that are dissolved into your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources — rock and soil — or from treatment and distribution systems serving the Jacksonville metro area. When TDS is elevated, homeowners often detect a salty, metallic, or bitter taste and notice more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved constituents rather than a single contaminant, the right response depends on which substances are responsible for the higher reading.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, along with other small ions. While some of these are typical minerals, higher dissolved solids can make tap water less enjoyable, strain water heaters and appliances, and contribute to faster scale buildup — a concern in moderately hard water areas like parts of Duval County. You might also spot film on shower doors or find soap doesn’t lather as well. A water test will reveal overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are driving what you’re seeing in your Riomar home.
To actually lower dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, the single most effective filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That rejection capability makes RO effective across a wide range of dissolved sources. When homeowners want a system specifically aimed at reducing TDS, reverse osmosis is the solution designed for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry treats water for every tap, shower and appliance in the home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are typically installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life — an important consideration in Riomar’s humid subtropical climate, where mineral scale and biofilm can be more active. The payoff is water that often tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
