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 water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution systems. When TDS gets high, homeowners in Tangelo Park may notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more visible spotting on faucets, fixtures and glass. Because TDS is a measurement of many different substances rather than a single contaminant, the right solution depends on which dissolved materials are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate plus other small ions. In Central Florida’s hard groundwater—common around Tangelo Park and the greater Orange County area—these minerals can make water less pleasant to drink and accelerate scale buildup in water heaters and appliances. You might also see soap that won’t lather well, film on shower doors, or faster mineral deposits on fixtures; a simple water test will show total TDS and 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 forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and it’s the option homeowners commonly choose when they want a system specifically aimed at reducing TDS.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your Tangelo Park property treats water at the point of entry so TDS reductions reach every tap, shower and appliance. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine often found in distribution systems, these systems are normally paired with prefilters 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 your home—Mr. Pure Water can test your water and help determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit.
