Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the term for the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids come from natural sources such as rock and soil, and can also enter water through treatment and distribution. When TDS levels get high, you might notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved substances rather than a single contaminant, the right solution depends on which minerals or salts are present.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small ions. In the Orlando area, where hard groundwater is common, those minerals can make water less pleasant to drink and accelerate scale buildup in water heaters, dishwashers and plumbing. You may also see soap that won’t lather fully, cloudy glasses, or film on shower doors — testing your water will show total 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 carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO an appropriate choice when homeowners want a filter specifically aimed at reducing dissolved solids.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at your Southchase point of entry treats every tap, shower and appliance so you get consistent water quality throughout the home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are normally paired with prefilters to protect performance and extend membrane life. The result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and puts less strain on plumbing and appliances; Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO fits your household and plumbing needs.
