Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the blend of minerals, salts and metals that have dissolved into your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil or arise during treatment and distribution. When TDS gets high, you might notice a salty, metallic, or bitter flavor and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures a mix rather than a single substance, the right response depends on which dissolved components are present in your Santa Clara home's water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small ions. Though some are ordinary minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and can strain water-using appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may notice faster scale buildup, film on shower doors, and soap that won’t lather as well. Getting your water tested will show overall TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the main cause in your Santa Clara household.
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 primarily improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when Santa Clara homeowners want a system that specifically targets TDS, RO is the proven choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so TDS reduction affects every tap, shower and appliance in your Santa Clara 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 consistent across the house—Mr. Pure Water can test your water and help determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and needs.
