Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and sometimes shows up in household 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. Lab reports may identify it as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Audubon homeowners prefer solutions that protect the entire house — not just the kitchen sink — so every faucet and appliance is covered.
Radium tends to dissolve into water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so where it appears depends on local geology rather than daily use. It can travel along with other dissolved minerals, which is worth noting here in the Hillsborough County/Tampa Bay area where hard water and mineral buildup are common concerns. If you want to limit long-term exposure, treating water at the main entry point keeps water consistent for drinking, cooking, bathing, and protecting fixtures throughout your Audubon home.
When reducing radium for the whole house, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed in that same process. That makes ion exchange a good match when radium is present dissolved in the supply rather than bound to sediment. Installed on the main line, it treats all incoming water so every tap in your Audubon home receives the same protection.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are important to keep radium removal reliable over time. The resin requires regular regeneration and the system must be configured for your water chemistry and household demand — especially in hard-water areas like much of the Tampa Bay region — to avoid early exhaustion. Prefiltration for sediment often helps protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can recommend and install a whole-house ion exchange setup that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while matching your Audubon plumbing and usage.
