Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, residential tap water. Because you can’t see, smell or taste it, the only reliable way to know what’s in your plumbing is a lab test. In water reports it may also appear as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Havana homeowners choose solutions that protect every faucet rather than treating only the kitchen sink.
Radium gets into water as it moves through certain rock and soil types, so its occurrence depends on local geology more than household habits. It can travel with other dissolved minerals, so water that looks clear can still carry radium alongside hardness and other solids. If you’re in Havana and worried about long-term exposure, treating water where it enters your house—so all taps and appliances are covered—is a practical way to maintain consistent quality for drinking, cooking and bathing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be captured in that same process. When radium is present dissolved in the water rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange system installed on the main line treats all water entering your Havana home and helps provide uniform protection at every tap.
Because ion exchange media have limited capacity, correct sizing and regular maintenance are essential for ongoing radium removal. The resin must be regenerated on a schedule tailored to your water chemistry and household demand so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many homes benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and preserve flow rates. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your Havana plumbing and water use to recommend and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228.
