Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — also called TDS, dissolved solids, or dissolved salts — refers to the mix of minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved materials can originate from natural contact with rock and soil or from processes in treatment and distribution systems. When overall TDS climbs, many homeowners in Tamarac notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and increased spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different constituents rather than a single contaminant, the right response depends on which dissolved substances are present.
High TDS readings are often driven by dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small ions. While some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and accelerate wear on appliances that heat or evaporate water — a common concern in Broward County where water is typically hard. You might also spot faster scale build-up, film on shower doors, and reduced soap lathering. Testing your Tamarac water will show total TDS and whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actively remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that primarily improve taste and remove many organic chemicals, RO employs a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That capability makes RO well suited to addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources. When Tamarac homeowners want a filter specifically aimed at reducing TDS, reverse osmosis is the solution designed for that purpose.
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 Tamarac home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are commonly installed with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs more consistently across your plumbing — especially helpful in hard-water areas like Broward County. Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your household and plumbing layout.
