Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can appear in groundwater and, in some places, in household water supplies. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste radium, the only reliable way to know if it’s present is through testing. You may also find it reported as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab results. Many Berkshire Lakes homeowners opt for a treatment that protects every faucet rather than just a single tap when they’re concerned about these contaminants.
Radium dissolves from certain rocks and soils as water moves through the ground, so its occurrence depends more on local geology than on household activities. It often travels with other dissolved minerals, including the hardness common to Collier County groundwater, so water can look clear while still carrying dissolved contaminants. If long-term exposure is a concern for your Berkshire Lakes residence, treating the water where it enters the house — with a whole-house system — helps reduce radium across drinking, cooking, and bathing taps.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is frequently the best single-filter option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and they can capture radium during that process. When radium is present in dissolved form rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange softener installed on the main line treats all incoming water and delivers consistent protection at every tap in your Berkshire Lakes home.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal. The media needs periodic regeneration, and settings should be matched to your water chemistry and household use so the resin doesn’t exhaust prematurely. In hard-water areas like Berkshire Lakes and greater Naples, many homeowners also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing and daily water needs.
