Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can enter your supply from natural sources like rock and soil in Orange County or from treatment and distribution systems serving the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford area. When TDS is high, homeowners in Wedgefield may detect a salty, metallic, or bitter taste and notice spotting on glassware and fixtures. Remember that TDS is a measure of many dissolved constituents, so the best solution depends on which dissolved salts and ions are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, plus other small ions. While some are harmless minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make tap water less pleasant, reduce soap performance, and increase scale on water heaters and faucets—issues Wedgefield homeowners with moderately hard water may recognize. You might also see film on shower doors or faster buildup on appliances; testing your water will reveal total TDS and whether dissolved salts are the main cause.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that mainly improve taste and cut many organics, RO relies on a semi-permeable membrane to reject the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well-suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources common to groundwater supplies in and around Wedgefield. When customers ask for a solution that specifically targets TDS, RO is the technology designed for that purpose.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so lower TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Wedgefield home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine often found in groundwater or distribution systems, these systems are normally paired with prefiltration 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—Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
