Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can sometimes enter groundwater and appear in household water supplies. It’s not detectable by taste, smell, or sight, so the only reliable way to know if it’s in your plumbing is through testing. You may also find it listed on lab reports as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Helen homeowners who learn they have elevated levels choose treatments that protect the entire house rather than only a single fixture.
Because radium leaches from certain rock and soil into groundwater, its presence depends on local geology rather than everyday household activities. It can move with other dissolved minerals, so even clear, hard water from a Helen well or supply can carry it. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, treating incoming water with a whole-house system helps reduce radium throughout your plumbing so drinking, cooking, and bathing water are treated consistently.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is frequently the most effective single-filter choice. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be captured during that exchange. When radium is present dissolved in water rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange unit installed on the main line treats all water entering a Helen home, delivering consistent protection at every faucet.
Ion exchange systems have a limited capacity, so correct sizing and upkeep are essential to maintain radium removal over time. The resin requires regular regeneration, and settings should reflect your water chemistry and household demand to prevent premature exhaustion. Many Helen homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to shield the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can help pick, size, and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your home’s plumbing and usage patterns.
