Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the collective term for the minerals, salts and metals dissolved in household water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like soil and rock or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS rises, you might notice metallic, bitter or slightly salty tastes and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved components, the right approach depends on which dissolved salts or ions make up that total in your Rosemont plumbing.
High TDS usually reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While some of these are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and increase wear on appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also notice faster scale buildup, soap that doesn’t lather well, and film on shower doors—issues Rosemont homeowners see in our humid subtropical climate where mineral deposits can be persistent. A proper test will measure total TDS and help identify whether dissolved salts are driving the problem.
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 mainly improve taste and reduce many organic chemicals, RO employs a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions that contribute to high TDS. That makes RO well suited to tackle dissolved solids from a variety of sources; when Rosemont homeowners want a system specifically targeting TDS, RO is the technology designed for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so lower TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Rosemont home. Because RO membranes can be sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are commonly installed with prefiltration to protect performance and lengthen membrane life. The end result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the house—Mr. Pure Water can test your water and help determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
