Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the mix of minerals, salts and small metals dissolved in your tap water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural geology, the distribution system, or treatment processes. When TDS is high you might notice a salty, metallic or bitter flavor and more spotting on glass and fixtures. Because TDS is a measurement of many different components rather than a single contaminant, the right response depends on which dissolved salts and ions are present in your water in places like Westgate and the surrounding Palm Beach County neighborhoods.
Elevated TDS often reflects dissolved salts such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate plus other small ions. In hard-water areas like Westgate these dissolved minerals can make water less enjoyable to drink and contribute to faster scale buildup on water heaters, shower doors and plumbing. You may also notice soap that rinses poorly or leaves a film. A proper water test will measure total dissolved solids and help determine whether dissolved salts are driving those issues in your home.
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 mostly improve taste and remove many organic contaminants, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources when Westgate homeowners need a targeted solution.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your property treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance in your Westgate home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are normally installed with prefilters to protect performance and extend membrane life. The result is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue, and behaves more consistently across your plumbing; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO is the right fit given Westgate’s hard-water conditions and household needs.
