Including filter system and high-performance Tungsten filter.
Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal that can end up in drinking water at low concentrations. In coastal Brevard County and around Merritt Island, subsurface rocks and soils or nearby industrial sources can influence what’s in your supply, and private wells may react differently than municipal systems. Because tungsten is usually colorless and odorless, it won’t announce itself at the tap — a lab test is the reliable way to know if it’s present. Many Merritt Island homeowners begin by screening for metals like tungsten to gain peace of mind about their water.
Given the evolving research on tungsten in drinking water, a practical precautionary stance is common among homeowners here. Clear water and normal taste don’t guarantee the absence of dissolved metals, so regular testing is sensible — especially for private well users on Merritt Island, where coastal influence can mean higher minerals or occasional salty tastes. If you receive municipal water, check local water quality reports and consider a tap test to verify what’s actually entering your home.
For point-of-entry protection, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is generally the single-filter solution most effective at reducing tungsten. RO relies on a semipermeable membrane to reject many dissolved metals and inorganic compounds, lowering tungsten before water reaches your faucets, showers, and appliances. Simpler media that address taste and odor aren’t typically sufficient for dissolved metals, so a properly designed whole-house RO installation — including prefiltration to shield the membrane from sediment and chlorine where relevant — is the recommended approach for Merritt Island homes.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system can be set up with storage and distribution to deliver treated water throughout your Merritt Island residence. Reliable performance depends on correct sizing, steady pressure, and routine maintenance of filters and the RO membrane, since fouling will reduce removal over time. Homes on private wells may need extra pretreatment for hardness, iron, or particulates common in our area to prolong membrane life.
