Including filter system and high-performance Sodium Chloride (Salt) filter.
Sodium chloride, often just called salt, can appear in household water for several reasons — from naturally occurring minerals in groundwater to additions from treatment and regeneration routines. In Viking’s humid subtropical environment with hard groundwater, some dissolved minerals are common, but when salt levels rise they can give water a briny taste that’s obvious in drinking and cooking. That’s especially concerning for households monitoring dietary sodium, since you can’t see dissolved salt in a glass of water.
Elevated salt affects more than flavor; it can change how water behaves around the home. You may taste it in beverages or ice and find a cloudy film on fixtures or glass that is stubborn to remove. Because sodium chloride fully dissolves, it passes through standard sediment traps and isn’t removed by boiling. The practical first step for Viking homeowners is a water test to determine whether the salt is coming from the source, a softener regeneration issue, or another cause tied to our region’s hard groundwater.
To actually remove dissolved sodium chloride, the single most effective filter type is reverse osmosis. RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that separates dissolved salts from the finished water — a different mechanism than carbon or sediment filters, which target particles, chlorine, and tastes. This membrane-based approach is the core technology behind desalination and reducing total dissolved solids, so when salt is the primary worry, selecting the right RO membrane and system layout is key.
For whole-house use, reverse osmosis is typically configured as a dedicated system with prefiltration to guard the membrane and maintain performance. A pre-sediment filter helps prevent fouling, and carbon prefiltration cuts chlorine that can shorten membrane life where present in Viking’s plumbing. Because RO creates both a purified stream and a concentrate rinse, correct sizing and professional installation are important for everyday household demand — Mr. Pure Water can test your supply, identify the source of salt, and design a whole-house RO plan tailored to your Viking home.
