Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, residential tap water without any taste, smell, or visible sign. The only reliable way for Betts homeowners to know if their water contains radium is through testing. In lab reports you might also see it called radium-226 or radium-228. When people learn radium may be present, many choose a treatment that protects every faucet in the house, not just the kitchen sink.
Because radium can leach from certain rock and soil types into groundwater, its occurrence depends on local geology more than daily water use. It can travel with other dissolved minerals—sometimes alongside hardness—so clear water doesn’t rule it out. Betts homeowners who want to reduce potential long-term exposure often treat water at the point it enters the home; a whole-house system provides consistent reduction throughout plumbing for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is frequently the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed during that same exchange. When radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment, installing an ion exchange unit on the main line treats all incoming water so every tap in your Betts home benefits.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal in Betts residences. The resin requires periodic regeneration, and settings should be matched to your water chemistry and household demand to avoid early exhaustion. Many homes also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and preserve steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can help Betts homeowners choose and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your plumbing and daily use.
