Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, household water supplies; you won’t be able to see, smell, or taste it. On lab reports it may appear as radium-226 or radium-228, so check test results carefully. Because detection requires testing, many Courtenay homeowners on Brevard County’s hard water prefer a solution that treats the whole house instead of only the kitchen tap.
Whether radium shows up depends largely on local geology rather than everyday plumbing habits, and it can move with other dissolved minerals—often traveling alongside the hardness commonly found in Brevard County water. Even clear-looking water can carry dissolved contaminants, so treating water where it enters the home provides continuous protection for drinking, cooking, laundry, and bathing in Courtenay.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often the single-filter style that works best. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for dissolved minerals, and they can capture radium as part of that process. When installed on the main line in a Courtenay home, an ion exchange unit treats all incoming water so every faucet—from those in Titusville to Port St. John—benefits from the same protection.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential to keep radium removal reliable. The resin needs regular regeneration and system settings should match your home’s water chemistry, hardness and household demand to avoid premature exhaustion. Many Brevard County houses also use a sediment prefilter to shield the resin and maintain good flow. Mr. Pure Water can help Courtenay homeowners choose and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your plumbing and daily water use.
