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 your water. Sources can be natural — rock and soil — or come from treatment and distribution systems. When TDS rises, homeowners may detect a salty, metallic or bitter taste and see more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures the total dissolved load rather than a single substance, the best approach depends on which dissolved solids are present in your Sears water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In Central Florida’s hard groundwater around Sears and Osceola County, those minerals can accelerate scale on pipes and appliances that heat or evaporate water. You might notice faster scale buildup, soap that doesn’t lather well, or film on shower doors; testing the water will show overall TDS and whether dissolved salts are the main contributor.
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 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 it’s the go-to choice when homeowners want a solution that targets TDS specifically.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Sears home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, 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 more consistent throughout the house — and Mr. Pure Water can test your water and help determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and needs.
