Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can appear in groundwater and, in some places, in residential drinking water. Because it has no taste, smell, or color, the only reliable way to know if it’s in your supply is through testing. You may also see it listed as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab results or water quality reports. Many Isle of Normandy homeowners prefer treatments that protect the entire house rather than just a single tap, so every faucet, shower and appliance gets the same level of safety.
Radium enters water as it moves through certain rocks and soils, so its occurrence depends on local geology rather than everyday household activity. Because it behaves like other dissolved minerals, it can travel with hardness and other dissolved solids even when water looks clear. In Isle of Normandy and the greater Miami-Dade area—where municipal water is typically hard—treating the water at the point it enters your home helps protect drinking, cooking and bathing water across every fixture.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed through the same process. That makes ion exchange a good fit when radium is present in dissolved form rather than bound to sediment. Installed on the main service line, it treats all incoming water so every tap in your Isle of Normandy home benefits.
Because ion exchange resin has a limited capacity, correct sizing and regular maintenance are essential to keep radium removal reliable. The resin needs periodic regeneration, and the system’s settings should match your household demand and the local water chemistry—especially in hard-water areas like Isle of Normandy—to avoid early exhaustion. Many homes also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your plumbing and daily use.
