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 it has no taste, color, or smell, the only reliable way for Fidelis homeowners to know what’s in their tap water is lab testing. You may also see it identified as radium-226 or radium-228 on water reports. When elevated levels are a concern, many local residents choose systems that protect every faucet rather than only a single point of use.
Radium gets into water as it dissolves from certain rock and soil formations, so its occurrence depends on local geology more than on household habits. In Fidelis this means radium can travel with other dissolved minerals and even appear in water that looks clear. If you want to reduce long-term exposure for your family, treating water where it enters the house is the most reliable strategy. A whole-house system treats all plumbing, maintaining consistent water quality for drinking, cooking, and bathing throughout your Fidelis home.
For whole-house radium control, an ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed during that exchange. This approach works well when radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment, and when installed on the main line it delivers protection to every faucet in your Fidelis residence.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are important to keep radium removal dependable. The resin requires regular regeneration, and system settings should be matched to your water chemistry and household flow to avoid early exhaustion. Many Fidelis homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to shield the resin and preserve steady 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 home’s plumbing and usage.
