Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the combined amount of minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can come from natural sources like rock and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS gets high, homeowners often notice a salty, metallic or bitter taste and more spotting on faucets, glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different dissolved substances rather than a single contaminant, the right approach depends on which salts or ions are present in your Washington Park water.
High TDS usually reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, along with other small ions. In South Florida’s hard-water environment, these minerals can accelerate scale buildup on fixtures and appliances that heat water, leave a film on shower doors, and make soap less effective. A TDS test will show the total level and help pinpoint whether dissolved salts are driving the issues in your Washington Park home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic chemicals, RO uses a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based rejection makes RO well suited for treating dissolved solids from a variety of sources, and when homeowners in Washington Park want a filter that targets TDS specifically, RO is the recommended choice.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your 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, systems in Broward County homes are typically paired 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 around your Washington Park home—Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO is the right fit.
