Including filter system and high-performance Chlorate filter.
Chlorate can form when certain disinfectants break down, and it can also be linked to some industrial processes — so it may turn up in either municipal or well supplies. Because chlorate is usually colorless and odorless, you won’t detect it by smell or taste. The only reliable way to know what’s in your water is to have it tested and to follow a clear treatment plan tailored for your Viking home.
If testing shows elevated chlorate, many Viking homeowners prefer a single solution that protects every tap instead of piecing together point-of-use units. Treating water where it enters the house covers drinking, cooking, ice makers, bathing and laundry — and can be simpler to maintain than multiple filters. A whole-house system provides consistent treatment as conditions change in our humid subtropical climate and with Viking’s typically hard groundwater.
For reducing chlorate, a dedicated reverse osmosis system is one of the most effective single-filter choices because its semipermeable membrane rejects many dissolved salts and oxidized byproducts. Chlorate behaves like a dissolved ion in water, so an RO membrane is well suited to remove it. In a whole-house configuration the RO membrane is the primary stage, delivering treated water to the home while concentrating waste to drain; correct sizing keeps up flow and performance for everyday Viking household demand.
Whole-house reverse osmosis installations typically include prefiltration to protect the membrane and prolong its life. Sediment and carbon prefilters cut particles and other oxidizers that can shorten membrane life, while the RO does the main work on chlorate. Because RO systems produce a waste stream, planning for drain access and storage or delivery is part of a smooth install. Mr. Pure Water can review your Viking water test results and usage to determine if whole-house RO is the right fit.
