Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, residential drinking water. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know whether your Felkel well or municipal supply contains radium. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. When homeowners want protection throughout the house, many choose a solution that treats water at the point it enters rather than only at an individual tap.
Radium is tied to local geology and can dissolve into water as it moves through rock and soil, so it often appears alongside other dissolved minerals even when water looks clear. In Felkel, treating water at the main line makes sense if you’re cautious about long-term exposure, because a whole-house system reduces radium throughout plumbing for drinking, cooking, washing and bathing, keeping water quality consistent at every faucet.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is commonly 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 in that process. When radium is present dissolved in your water rather than bound to sediment, installing an ion exchange unit on the main feed treats all water entering a Felkel home and helps ensure uniform protection at each tap.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal over time. The resin must be regenerated on a schedule tuned to your household demand and water chemistry so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many Felkel homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while matching your plumbing and daily water use.
