Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like limestone and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS climbs high, you might notice a salty or metallic taste and spotting on faucets or glassware. Because TDS measures a blend of substances rather than a single contaminant, the best solution depends on which dissolved materials are present in your Tropical Park plumbing.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. Many of these are common minerals, but elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and accelerate scale buildup in water heaters and appliances—an issue Tropical Park homeowners familiar with Miami-Dade’s hard, limestone-influenced source water may recognize. You may also see soap that won’t lather well, film on shower doors, and faster mineral deposits; testing will show overall TDS and whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, reverse osmosis (RO) is the most effective single filter technology. Unlike carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO a strong choice for addressing dissolved solids from a variety of sources; when homeowners want a system that specifically targets TDS, RO is the technology designed for that purpose.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your Tropical Park home 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, these systems are usually installed 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 the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and household needs.
