Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, is the combined amount of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS is high, many homeowners notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets, glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different constituents rather than a single contaminant, the right approach depends on which salts or ions are present in the water serving Roosevelt Gardens.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In Broward County’s hard-water area, elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less enjoyable to drink and contribute to mineral scale in plumbing and water-using appliances. You might also see faster buildup on shower doors, a filmy residue and soap that doesn’t lather as well. A TDS test will show the overall level and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause in your Roosevelt Gardens 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 mostly improve taste and reduce certain organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach is designed to address dissolved solids from a wide range of sources, which is why homeowners asking specifically about reducing TDS are typically steered to RO.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS applies to every tap, shower and appliance throughout your Roosevelt Gardens residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine—common concerns in hard water areas—these systems are usually paired with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and behaves more consistently across the home; Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and daily needs.
