Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the blanket term for minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your household water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources like rock and soil, or enter your supply through treatment and distribution. When TDS runs high, you might notice tastes that are salty, bitter or metallic and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS measures a mix of dissolved material rather than a single contaminant, the best remedy depends on which dissolved salts and ions are present in your water.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate, along with other small ions. In West Palm Beach—where municipal water is commonly hard—elevated dissolved solids can make water less enjoyable to drink and speed up limescale buildup on fixtures and appliances. You may also see soap that won’t lather well, film on shower doors, or quicker scaling on water heaters; a TDS test can show the overall level and indicate whether dissolved salts are the primary issue.
To actually lower dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, the most effective single filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters that mainly improve taste and reduce many organic chemicals, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That ability to remove a wide range of dissolved solids is why homeowners looking specifically to tackle TDS are usually steered toward RO.
A properly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point where it enters your home so lower TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in West Palm Beach. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are normally installed with prefiltration to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and performs more consistently around the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your supply and advise whether whole-house RO is the right solution for your plumbing and household needs.
