Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids — called TDS, dissolved solids, or dissolved salts — refers to the mix of minerals, salts and small ions dissolved in your water. Those dissolved solids can come from natural contact with rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS is high, homeowners often notice a salty, metallic, or bitter taste and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many constituents rather than one single contaminant, the right way to address it depends on which dissolved substances are present.
High TDS is commonly made up of dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate plus other small ions. Even though some are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and can stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. You may also see faster scale buildup, cloudy kettles, film on shower doors, or soap that won’t lather well. In Wagon Wheel, where water quality and hardness can vary between municipal supplies and private wells, a basic water test will clarify 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 draws water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions that contribute to high TDS. That makes RO a strong choice for treating TDS from a range of sources. When Wagon Wheel homeowners ask for a filter focused on lowering TDS, RO is the technology designed for that purpose.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry lowers TDS throughout your Wagon Wheel home so every tap, shower and appliance benefits. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually paired with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs more consistently across the house. Mr. Pure Water can help test your supply and determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and household needs.
