Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and sometimes appears in household water supplies without any taste, smell, or visible trace. The safest way to know whether your City Point tap contains it is a lab test. You may also see this contaminant listed as radium-226 or radium-228 on water reports. When homeowners want protection at every sink, shower, and appliance, many choose a solution that treats the whole house rather than only a single fixture.
Because radium comes from local rock and soil, its presence depends on geology more than daily household activity; in coastal Florida areas like City Point, mineral-rich groundwater and hard water can carry dissolved minerals alongside radium even when water looks clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, treating incoming water at the main line keeps drinking, cooking, and bathing water consistent across the whole house. A whole-house system helps reduce radium throughout your plumbing so every tap gets the same protection.
For whole-home radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be captured through that same process. When radium is present as a dissolved contaminant rather than bound to sediment, a properly installed ion exchange unit on the main water line treats all water entering a City Point house, helping ensure uniform protection for bathing, laundering, and drinking.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine regeneration are essential for dependable radium removal over time. Settings should be matched to your home’s water chemistry, hardness, and household demand so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely; in City Point, the hard water typical of coastal Florida makes this especially important. Many homeowners also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can recommend and install a whole-house ion exchange system tuned for radium-226 and radium-228 and sized to fit your plumbing and daily use.
