Including filter system and high-performance Tungsten filter.
Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal that can enter drinking water at low levels, often without any color or smell to give it away. In places around Brevard County, groundwater interactions with local rock and soil — and sometimes nearby industrial influences — can increase the chance of dissolved metals appearing in household taps. Because you can’t see tungsten, many Patrick AFB homeowners choose testing to identify metals of concern and gain peace of mind about their water.
While scientists continue to study tungsten in drinking water, a practical, cautious response is common when test results are elevated. Clear, normal-tasting water can still contain dissolved metals, so regular testing makes sense — especially for private wells where quality can shift with seasonal groundwater changes. If you’re on municipal supply near Patrick Space Force Base or elsewhere in the Space Coast, review your local water quality reports and consider a tap test to confirm what’s entering your home.
To reduce tungsten at the point of entry, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is usually the single-filter solution homeowners rely on most. Reverse osmosis uses a semipermeable membrane to reject many dissolved metals and inorganic contaminants, lowering tungsten before it reaches faucets, showers, and appliances. Simpler media aimed at improving taste and odor won’t reliably stop dissolved tungsten, so a correctly designed whole-house RO — with prefiltration to protect the membrane from sediment and chlorine where present — is the recommended choice for Patrick AFB properties.
A whole-house reverse osmosis installation can include dedicated storage and delivery so treated water is available throughout your Patrick AFB home. Reliable performance depends on proper sizing, sufficient pressure, and routine filter and membrane care to prevent fouling. Because Coastal Brevard County commonly has hard water that contributes mineral scale, homes may need pretreatment for hardness, iron, or particulates to extend membrane life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house RO system tailored to your home and local conditions.
