Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can appear in groundwater and sometimes in household drinking water, and you won’t be able to see, smell, or taste it. In lab reports it may be listed as radium-226 or radium-228, so testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your tap. Many Homestead homeowners—especially those managing hard water and post-storm risks in southern Miami-Dade—choose treatments that protect every faucet rather than only a single point of use.
Because radium enters water as it moves through certain rock and soil, its presence depends on local geology more than everyday plumbing habits. It can travel together with dissolved minerals and hardness, so water that looks clear in Homestead can still carry dissolved contaminants. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, treating water at the main line with a whole-house solution helps reduce radium throughout the plumbing for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter style option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be captured by the resin in the same process. When radium is present dissolved in the water rather than attached to sediment, installing an ion exchange system on the main line treats water for every tap in your Homestead home.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so sizing and routine maintenance are essential for consistent radium removal. The resin needs periodic regeneration, and system settings should match Homestead water chemistry—including hard water tendencies—and household demand so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Prefiltration for sediment often helps protect the resin and maintain flow; Mr. Pure Water can help choose and install a whole-house ion exchange setup that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your home and plumbing.
