Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and occasionally affect household water. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your tap water. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Beaver Creek homeowners who want broad protection choose treatments that cover the whole house rather than just one faucet.
Radium gets into water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so its presence depends on local geology more than how you use water at home. It can travel with other dissolved minerals and hardness even when water appears clear. If you’re in Beaver Creek and worried about long-term exposure, treating water where it enters your house delivers consistent protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing across every tap.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often the single-filter option that works best. These systems use resin beads to swap sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be captured during that exchange. When radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange system installed on the main line treats all incoming water to help keep every faucet in your Beaver Creek home protected.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are important for dependable radium removal over time. The resin must be regenerated on a schedule that matches your household demand and water chemistry so the media doesn’t become exhausted prematurely. Prefiltration for sediment often helps protect the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Beaver Creek plumbing and water use to recommend and install a whole-house ion exchange system targeting radium-226 and radium-228.
