Including filter system and high-performance Tungsten filter.
Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal that can end up in drinking water at low levels. In Central Florida, interactions between groundwater and local rock or soil — plus occasional industrial influences — can affect what’s in your tap. Because tungsten is usually colorless and odorless, you won’t detect it without a lab test, so many Bithlo homeowners choose to screen for metals like tungsten to better understand their household water.
While scientists continue to study tungsten in drinking water, a practical approach helps local homeowners protect their families. Even crystal-clear water can contain dissolved metals, so regular testing is wise—especially for private wells in the Bithlo area, where water quality and moderate hardness can vary by neighborhood. If you receive municipal water, check your utility’s water quality reports and consider a tap test to confirm what’s actually entering your house in Orange County’s Orlando metro area.
To reduce tungsten at the point of entry, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is generally the single most effective filter option. RO uses a semipermeable membrane that rejects many dissolved metals and inorganic contaminants, lowering tungsten before it reaches showers, faucets, and appliances. Simpler media that target taste or odor aren’t as effective for dissolved metals, so a properly designed whole-house RO system for a Bithlo home should include prefiltration to protect the membrane from sediment and chlorine where present.
A whole-house reverse osmosis installation can include storage and distribution to deliver consistent treated water throughout your home. Long-term performance depends on correct sizing, sufficient water pressure, and routine maintenance of filters and the membrane to prevent fouling. Homes on wells around Bithlo may need extra pretreatment for hardness, iron, or particulates to preserve membrane life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results from Bithlo and recommend a whole-house RO system sized and configured to address tungsten effectively.
