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 areas where groundwater interacts with particular rock and soil types — as can happen in parts of Florida drawing from the Floridan Aquifer — concentrations may be higher. Because tungsten is usually colorless and odorless, it won’t reveal itself without laboratory testing, so Windsor residents who want greater certainty often begin by checking for metals of concern, including tungsten.
While scientific understanding about tungsten in drinking water continues to develop, many homeowners choose a cautious approach when tests show elevated amounts. Clear, good-tasting water can still contain dissolved metals, so periodic testing is a smart step — especially for private wells that can vary with seasons and groundwater conditions. If you get municipal water in Windsor, reviewing your local water quality report and testing a tap sample are useful ways to verify what’s entering your home.
To reduce tungsten at the point of entry, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is generally the single-filter option most effective. RO relies on a semipermeable membrane that rejects many dissolved metals and inorganic contaminants, lowering tungsten before it reaches faucets, showers, and appliances. Because tungsten is typically dissolved, it can pass through simpler media designed for taste and odor control, so a properly designed whole-house RO with prefiltration is recommended to protect the membrane from sediment or chlorine where applicable.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system can be set up with storage and delivery so treated water is available throughout your Windsor home. Long-term performance depends on correct sizing, sufficient pressure, and regular maintenance to prevent fouling and preserve removal. Homes drawing from wells may need extra pretreatment for hardness, iron, or particulates—common considerations when groundwater comes from the Floridan Aquifer. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house RO system configured to address tungsten effectively.
