Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can sometimes enter groundwater and residential drinking water. Because it has no taste, color, or odor, the only reliable way for Franklin Park homeowners to know whether it’s present is through testing. You may also see radium reported under the names radium-226 or radium-228 on lab results and consumer confidence reports. When tests show elevated levels, many families prefer a treatment that protects every faucet in the house rather than just a single tap.
Radium often dissolves into water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so its occurrence depends on local geology more than on day-to-day household activity. In South Florida, local water quality and hardness can vary by utility and well use, so radium may travel with other dissolved minerals even when the water appears clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure in a Franklin Park home, treating water at the point it enters the plumbing with a whole-house system helps protect drinking, cooking, and bathing water throughout the house.
For reducing radium across the entire home, a whole-house 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 that same process can capture radium-226 and radium-228 when the contaminant is dissolved rather than bound to sediment. Installed on the main water line, an ion exchange unit treats all incoming water so every Franklin Park tap receives consistent protection.
Because ion exchange media has a limited capacity, correct sizing and regular maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal over time. The resin requires periodic regeneration, and system settings should be matched to your household demand and local water chemistry so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many Franklin Park homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain 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 plumbing and water use.
