Including filter system and high-performance Tungsten filter.
Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal that can enter drinking water at low levels, and because it’s usually colorless and odorless you won’t detect it without testing. In the Pine Hills area and greater Orange County, groundwater interaction with local rock and soil — combined with our hard, mineral-rich water — means homeowners often test for a range of dissolved metals. Many local families begin by identifying possible metal contaminants like tungsten so they know whether further steps are needed.
Research into tungsten in drinking water continues, so many Pine Hills homeowners take a cautious, practical stance when tests suggest elevated results. Clear, normal-tasting water can still contain dissolved metals, so private well owners in neighborhoods such as Lockhart or West Colonial are encouraged to test periodically as water quality can shift with seasons and usage. If you receive municipal water, checking your local water quality report and doing a tap test helps confirm exactly what’s entering your house.
To reduce tungsten at the point of entry, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is generally the most effective single-filter option. Reverse osmosis uses a semipermeable membrane that rejects many dissolved metals and inorganic contaminants, lowering tungsten before it reaches faucets, showers, and appliances across your Pine Hills home. Because tungsten commonly exists as dissolved species, it can bypass simpler media that mainly address taste and odor; a whole-house RO also requires prefiltration to protect the membrane from the sediment and chlorine sometimes found in the Orlando metro area.
A whole-house reverse osmosis setup can include dedicated storage and delivery so treated water is available throughout your Pine Hills residence. Performance relies on correct sizing, adequate pressure, and routine maintenance, since membrane fouling reduces removal efficiency over time. If your home has a well, additional pretreatment to address hardness, iron, or particulates common in our area may be recommended to extend membrane life.
