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 household water. These dissolved solids can enter your supply from natural sources like rock and soil or through treatment and distribution. When TDS climbs high, you might notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets, glass and shower doors. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved constituents rather than a single contaminant, the right approach depends on which salts and minerals are present in your home’s water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, plus other small ions. While some of these are naturally occurring minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make water less appealing to drink and can stress appliances that heat or evaporate water. In Walton homes, where moderate hardness and coastal humidity can contribute to scale and spotting, you may also see faster buildup on fixtures, film on shower glass, and soap that doesn’t lather as well. A TDS test helps show the overall level 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 contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO the go-to choice when homeowners want a filter specifically designed to target dissolved solids, no matter their source.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your Walton property 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 normally installed with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels more consistent throughout a home — and Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and help determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
