Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter drinking water from underground sources, and homeowners usually won’t detect it by sight, smell, or taste. In lab reports you may also find it named radium-226 or radium-228. Because it can be hidden in clear water, testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your Imperial Point home’s supply from the Broward County area. Many residents choose treatments that protect every faucet rather than only the kitchen tap.
Radium often dissolves into water as it travels through certain rock and soil, so its presence reflects local geology more than household habits. It can move alongside other dissolved minerals and hardness common to coastal South Florida supplies, so water that looks clear can still carry it. If you’re worried about ongoing exposure in your Imperial Point house, treating water at the main entry point with a whole-house system helps reduce radium throughout plumbing used for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
When you want whole-home radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter style. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium-226 and radium-228 can be removed through that same process. This approach works well when radium is dissolved in the water rather than trapped in sediment. Installed on the main service line, an ion exchange softener treats all water entering an Imperial Point residence, helping keep water consistent at every tap.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are important for dependable radium control. The resin requires periodic regeneration, and settings should reflect your household demand and the moderate hardness typical of coastal South Florida to avoid early exhaustion. Many homes benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can recommend and install a whole-house ion exchange solution tailored to Imperial Point plumbing that targets radium-226 and radium-228.
