Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can make its way into groundwater and, in some places, into household drinking water. Because you can’t see, taste, or smell it, the only way to know whether Avalon’s tap water contains radium is to test it; lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. When residents are worried about exposure, many prefer a treatment that protects every faucet in the house instead of just the kitchen sink.
Radium enters water as it travels through certain rock and soil, so its occurrence depends on local geology rather than daily habits. It can move with other dissolved minerals and hardness, even when water appears clear. If you’re in Avalon and want to limit long-term exposure, treating water where it enters the home keeps your whole plumbing system protected for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
For whole-house radium control, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium for dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed through that same mechanism. When radium is present in dissolved form rather than bound to particles, an ion exchange unit installed on the main line treats all water entering an Avalon home, providing consistent protection at every tap.
An ion exchange system has a limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for ongoing radium reduction. The resin requires regular regeneration, and system settings should match your water chemistry and household demand to avoid premature exhaustion. Prefiltration for sediment often helps preserve resin life and steady flow. Mr. Pure Water in Avalon can evaluate your plumbing and water use to recommend and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228.
