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 that are dissolved in your tap water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil, or from treatment and distribution processes in the Miami-Dade area. When TDS rises, you might notice a salty, metallic, or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets, glassware and shower doors. Because TDS is a measurement of many different components rather than a single contaminant, the best remedy depends on which dissolved salts or ions are present in your water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside other small ions. In places like University Park where municipal water is typically hard, elevated dissolved solids can make water less pleasant to drink and accelerate scale buildup on plumbing fixtures and appliances. You may also notice soap that doesn’t lather well and a filmy residue on shower doors; a proper water test will show overall TDS and reveal whether dissolved salts are the main contributor.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filtration technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane makes RO especially effective for treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners want a filter that targets TDS specifically, RO is the technology built for that purpose.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your University Park home treats water at the point of entry so TDS reduction reaches 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 life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels consistent throughout the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
