Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids can enter water naturally as it moves through rock and soil or through treatment and distribution systems. When TDS rises, you might notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets, glass and dishes. Because TDS measures a blend of different dissolved substances rather than one single contaminant, the right approach depends on which dissolved salts and minerals are present in your water.
High TDS commonly reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In Central Florida—where groundwater tends to be hard—elevated dissolved solids can make water less pleasant to drink and can accelerate scale buildup in plumbing and water-using appliances. You may also see soap that won’t lather well, film on shower doors, and faster mineral scaling on fixtures; testing your water will show total TDS and help determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO employs a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO especially effective for treating a wide range of dissolved solids—so when homeowners in Taft ask for a solution that targets TDS specifically, reverse osmosis is the recommended option.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point where it enters your Taft home, delivering TDS reduction to 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 tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs in Orange County.
