Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that sometimes shows up in groundwater and household supplies. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, the only way to know if it’s in your water is a lab test. On reports it may appear as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Glenwood Heights homeowners choose a whole-house approach so every faucet is protected, not just the kitchen tap.
Radium enters water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so its likelihood depends on local geology rather than how you use water daily. It often travels with other dissolved minerals, so even clear water can carry radium alongside hardness or dissolved solids. In Glenwood Heights, where water quality and hardness can vary by utility or well, treating water at the point it enters the house ensures consistent protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing throughout your plumbing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is generally the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads that swap sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed in that same exchange. When radium is present dissolved in the water rather than attached to sediment, an ion exchange system installed on the main line treats all incoming water so every tap in your Glenwood Heights home benefits.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for continued radium control. The resin requires regular regeneration, and settings must match your household demand and water chemistry—verify hardness and any sulfur or iron issues with a recent test before selecting equipment. Many Glenwood Heights homes also do well with a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain steady flow; Mr. Pure Water can help you size, install, and maintain a whole-house ion exchange system for radium-226 and radium-228.
