Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, often called TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in household water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources such as rock and soil or from treatment and distribution systems, and in Brevard County’s mineral-rich (hard) water they’re commonly present. When TDS rises, homeowners sometimes detect a salty, metallic or bitter taste and notice spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures the combined dissolved load rather than a single compound, the right response depends on which dissolved salts and ions are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. While many are normal minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less enjoyable to drink and can accelerate scale buildup in plumbing and water-using appliances—an issue Titusville homeowners with hard water may recognize. You might also see more film on shower doors, reduced soap lathering, and faster mineral deposits; testing the overall TDS can help pinpoint whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actually lower dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike standard carbon filters that primarily improve taste and reduce many organic chemicals, RO relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions that contribute to high TDS. That membrane makes RO especially useful when homeowners want a system designed specifically to target dissolved solids.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your Titusville residence treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine—common concerns with hard, mineral-rich water—these systems are usually installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue, and feels more consistent throughout the home; Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
