Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, usually called TDS, is the term for the mix of minerals, salts and metals that dissolve into drinking water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS rises, homeowners often notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets, glassware and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of everything dissolved in the water rather than one specific contaminant, the best approach depends on which dissolved constituents are present — and in Runyon that can vary between homes on municipal water and those using private wells.
High TDS levels are commonly driven by dissolved salts and ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate. While some are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and cause faster scale buildup in kettles, water heaters and on shower doors. You may also notice soap that won’t lather well and a filmy residue as water dries. A proper test will report overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause in your Runyon home.
If your aim is to actually lower dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, reverse osmosis (RO) is the single most effective filter technology. Unlike standard carbon filters that mostly improve taste and remove many organics, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO a strong choice for addressing dissolved solids regardless of their source. For homeowners in Runyon who specifically want a system targeted at TDS, RO is the technology built for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the main line so lower TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Runyon 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 end result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves fewer residues as it dries, and performs more consistently across the house. Mr. Pure Water can help test your water, confirm whether high TDS is present, and advise if whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
