Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and sometimes shows up in household drinking water. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know whether your Brickyard well or supply contains radium. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. When homeowners in and around Brickyard want protection at every faucet, they often choose a whole-house approach rather than treating a single tap.
Radium enters water as it moves through certain rocks and soils, so its occurrence depends on local geology more than on how you use water day to day. It can travel with other dissolved minerals—sometimes alongside hardness—even when the water looks clear. If you’re in Brickyard and worried about long-term exposure, treating water where it enters your home protects drinking, cooking, and bathing water throughout the plumbing with consistent, whole-house coverage.
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 in that same exchange process. When radium is present dissolved in the water rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange setup installed on the main line treats all incoming water so every tap in your Brickyard home benefits.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are important for steady radium reduction. The resin needs regular regeneration, and system settings should match your water chemistry and household demand to avoid premature exhaustion. Many Brickyard homes also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain flow. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing and water use.
