Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and sometimes appears in residential water supplies. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your tap water. Lab reports may refer to it as radium-226 or radium-228. In Alford homes worried about unseen contaminants, many homeowners choose treatments that protect every faucet rather than just a single point of use.
Radium gets into water as it moves through certain rock and soil types, so local geology — not household habits — usually governs its presence. It can travel with other dissolved minerals, so clear-looking water from an Alford well or supply can still contain dissolved radium alongside hardness and other solids. If you want to reduce long-term exposure, treating water where it enters your Alford home with a whole-house system keeps drinking, cooking, and bathing water consistent and protected throughout the plumbing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed through that same process. That makes ion exchange a good choice when radium is present in dissolved form rather than bound to sediment. Installed on the main line into your Alford home, the system treats all incoming water so every tap benefits from the reduction.
Because ion exchange media have limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal over time. The resin requires regular regeneration, and system settings should reflect your water chemistry and household demand so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many Alford homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and sustain flow rates. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your plumbing and usage patterns.
