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 some places it appears when groundwater interacts with certain rock or soil types, or where industrial activity has affected local sources. Because tungsten in water is usually colorless and odorless, Franjo homeowners won’t detect it without laboratory testing. If you want more assurance about your household water quality, testing for metals such as tungsten is a sensible first step.
While scientific understanding of tungsten in drinking water keeps developing, many Franjo residents choose a cautious path when tests indicate elevated amounts. Clear, good-tasting water can still contain dissolved metals, so regular testing is useful—especially for private wells, where seasonal shifts in our humid subtropical climate can change water chemistry. If your water comes from a municipal supplier, check the local water quality reports and consider a tap test to confirm what’s actually entering your home.
To reduce tungsten at the point of entry, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is generally the most effective single-filter solution. Reverse osmosis forces water through a semipermeable membrane that rejects many dissolved metals and inorganic contaminants, lowering tungsten before it reaches faucets, showers, and appliances in Franjo homes. Because tungsten is present as dissolved species, it can pass through simpler media designed for taste and odor control, so a properly designed whole-house RO—with prefiltration to remove sediment and chlorine where needed—is recommended.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system can be set up with storage and delivery to provide steady treated water throughout your Franjo home. Reliable performance depends on correct sizing, sufficient pressure, and regular maintenance of filters and the RO membrane, since fouling will reduce effectiveness over time. If you use a well, pretreatment for hardness, iron, or particulates may be advised to extend membrane life.
