Including filter system and high-performance Tungsten filter.
Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal that sometimes shows up in drinking water at low concentrations. In parts of St. Lucie County, groundwater interacting with local rock and soils—or nearby human activity—can influence which metals appear in tap water. Because tungsten is generally colorless and odorless, you likely won’t detect it without laboratory testing. Many Indrio homeowners begin by checking for metals like tungsten to gain a clearer picture of their water quality.
Research on tungsten in drinking water is still developing, so a cautious approach makes sense when tests indicate elevated amounts. Even clear, good-tasting water can contain dissolved metals, which is why periodic testing is a good habit—especially for private wells in the area, where seasonal shifts or changing groundwater can alter results. If you receive municipal water, reviewing your utility’s water quality reports and testing at the tap can confirm what’s entering your Indrio home.
To reduce tungsten at the point of entry, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is typically the most effective single-filter option. RO uses a semipermeable membrane that rejects many dissolved metals and inorganic contaminants, lowering tungsten before it reaches faucets, showers, and appliances. Simpler media that address taste and odor won’t reliably stop dissolved tungsten, so a properly designed whole-house RO—including sediment and chlorine prefiltration where needed—is the recommended solution for homes on the Treasure Coast.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system can be arranged with storage and delivery so treated water is available throughout your Indrio home. Performance relies on correct sizing, good water pressure, and routine maintenance to prevent membrane fouling. Because hard water is common on Florida’s Treasure Coast, pre‑treatment for hardness, iron, or particulates may be advised to protect membrane life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house RO system tailored to your home and local conditions.
