Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refer to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your tap water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS levels are high, homeowners in Sills may notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on fixtures and glass. Because TDS measures the total dissolved material rather than a single substance, the best remedy depends on which dissolved components are present.
High TDS usually reflects dissolved salts and small ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, among others. While some are normal minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and can stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. You might observe faster scale buildup, film on shower doors, or soap that won’t lather well in Sills homes. A proper water test will measure total dissolved solids and help determine whether dissolved salts are driving the issue.
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 works with a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions that cause high TDS. That membrane-based approach makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and it’s the technology homeowners typically choose when they want to target TDS specifically.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point where it enters your Sills home, so lower TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance. 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 often tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO is the right solution for your plumbing and needs.
