Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources such as rock and soil, or from treatment and distribution systems. In Rock Island Village — where much of central Florida draws on the Floridan aquifer and water tends to be hard — elevated TDS can show up as a metallic, salty or bitter taste and leave more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved substances rather than a single contaminant, the right treatment depends on which salts and ions are present.
High TDS is commonly due to dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, plus other small ions. While some are simply natural minerals, higher dissolved solids can make tap water less appealing to drink and accelerate scale buildup in water-using appliances — a familiar issue in hard-water areas like Rock Island Village. You may also notice soap that won’t lather as well, mineral film on shower doors, and faster scaling on heating elements. A water test that measures overall TDS and identifies the dominant dissolved salts is the best first step to deciding on treatment.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single-filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters, which mainly improve taste and reduce many organic chemicals, RO relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes reverse osmosis a strong choice for treating dissolved solids from a wide variety of sources — including the mineral-rich groundwater common in central Florida.
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 Rock Island Village home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually 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 house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO is the best fit for your plumbing and needs.
