Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources such as rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS rises, you might notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on glassware and fixtures. Remember that TDS is a measure of many substances rather than a single contaminant, so the right approach depends on which dissolved materials are present in your Royals Crossroads water.
High TDS readings are commonly driven by dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, along with other small ions. While some are normal minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less enjoyable and strain appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also notice quicker scale buildup, soap that won’t lather well, and film on shower doors. A test that measures overall TDS will help determine if dissolved salts are the primary cause in your Royals Crossroads 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 mainly improve taste and reduce many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes reverse osmosis well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources. When Royals Crossroads homeowners want a system that specifically targets 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 TDS reduction applies to every tap, shower and appliance in your Royals Crossroads residence. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The overall effect is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels consistent throughout the home — and Mr. Pure Water can help determine whether a whole-house RO installation is the right fit for your plumbing and needs.
