Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the collective term for the minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your tap water. These dissolved solids may come from natural contact with rock and soil, or enter the supply through treatment and distribution infrastructure. When TDS rises, homeowners often notice a metallic, salty or bitter taste and spotting on glass and fixtures. Remember that TDS measures the total dissolved load rather than a single contaminant, so the best action depends on which specific dissolved substances are present in your water in Westwood Lakes.
High TDS levels are commonly tied to dissolved salts and ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate. Many of these are routine minerals, but elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less pleasant and accelerate scale buildup in water heaters, fixtures and appliances—especially in hard-water areas like the Miami-Dade County region that includes Westwood Lakes. You may also find soap that won’t lather well, films on shower doors, and faster mineral deposits; testing will show total TDS and whether dissolved salts are the principal cause.
To actually lower dissolved salts and reduce total dissolved solids, the most effective single technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike carbon filters that mainly address taste and many organic contaminants, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That makes RO well suited to handling dissolved solids from a variety of sources; when homeowners in Westwood Lakes want a filter built specifically to target TDS, reverse osmosis is the recommended choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry delivers lower TDS to every tap, shower and appliance in your Westwood Lakes home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are usually 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 across the house; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your plumbing and needs.
