Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, residential water supplies. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, the only reliable way to know if it’s in your home’s water is through testing. You may encounter the names radium-226 or radium-228 on lab reports; when levels are a concern, many Ives Estates homeowners choose treatments that protect every faucet rather than just a single point of use.
Radium tends to leach into water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so its presence reflects local geology more than household habits. In Miami-Dade County, where Ives Estates sits, radium can travel with other dissolved minerals and hardness, even when water appears clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, treating water where it enters the house keeps protection consistent for drinking, cooking, and bathing throughout your home.
At the whole-house level, an ion exchange water softener is often the best single-filter choice for reducing radium. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed as part of that process. Installed on the main line, an ion exchange system treats all incoming water so every tap in your Ives Estates home receives the same level of protection.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium reduction. The resin requires regular regeneration and system settings should match your home’s water chemistry and usage—important considerations in hard Miami-Dade water that can cause mineral buildup. Many homeowners also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain flow. Mr. Pure Water can help choose and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits Ives Estates plumbing and household demand.
