Including filter system and high-performance Tungsten filter.
Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal that can sometimes enter drinking water when groundwater contacts certain rock and soil. In Broward County, where much of the supply comes from the Biscayne Aquifer, dissolved metals can be present at low levels and are often colorless and odorless — meaning you wouldn’t notice them without a lab test. Homeowners around Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Pembroke Pines who want peace of mind commonly start by testing for metals such as tungsten so they know what’s in their water.
Because research about tungsten in drinking water is still developing, many Broward County homeowners take a practical approach when tests show elevated results. Clear, good-tasting water can still contain dissolved metals, so periodic testing — especially for private wells — helps you spot changes over time as seasons shift in our tropical monsoon climate. If you receive municipal water, checking your local water quality report and doing a tap test gives a clearer picture of what’s entering your home’s plumbing and appliances.
To reduce tungsten at the point of entry, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is generally the single-filter option most effective for homeowners. Reverse osmosis forces water through a semipermeable membrane that rejects many dissolved metals and inorganic contaminants, lowering tungsten before it reaches faucets, showers and household appliances. Simpler media aimed at taste and odor aren’t usually sufficient for dissolved metals, so a properly designed whole-house RO includes prefiltration to protect the membrane from sediment and chlorine where present.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system can be set up with storage and delivery to provide consistent treated water throughout your Broward County home. Long-term performance depends on correct system sizing, sufficient water pressure, and regular maintenance of prefilters and the RO membrane, since fouling reduces removal efficiency. Because Broward County water is commonly hard and can carry particulates from groundwater, additional pretreatment may be recommended to extend membrane life; Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house RO system tailored to your needs.
