Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can appear in groundwater and sometimes in household drinking water. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your tap water in Bascom. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. When homeowners find concerning results, many prefer a treatment that protects the entire house rather than just a single faucet.
Radium dissolves into water as it moves through certain rock and soil formations, so its occurrence depends largely on local geology rather than daily household activity. It can travel with other dissolved minerals and hardness, even when water looks clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure in a Bascom home, treating water where it enters the house ensures consistent reduction of radium for drinking, cooking, and bathing across every tap.
At the whole-house level, an ion exchange water softener is frequently the most effective single-filter option for reducing radium. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed through the same process. When radium is present in dissolved form rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange unit installed on the main service line treats all incoming water to provide uniform protection throughout your Bascom plumbing.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal. The resin requires regular regeneration, and system settings should match your household water use and chemistry so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many Bascom homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to shield the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can help choose and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your home’s plumbing and daily needs.
