Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, residential taps. You won’t be able to detect it by sight, smell, or taste, so testing is the only way to confirm whether it’s in your water. Lab reports may refer to it as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Lely homeowners choose treatments that protect the whole house rather than only a single fixture, so every faucet and shower receives the same level of safety.
Because radium dissolves from certain rock and soil types into moving groundwater, its presence depends on local geology more than household habits. In Southwest Florida’s mineral-rich, often hard water, radium can behave like other dissolved solids and travel through plumbing even when the water looks clear. If long-term exposure is a concern, treating water where it enters your Lely home provides consistent protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing across the entire plumbing system.
For whole-house radium control, an ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed during that same exchange. When radium is present dissolved in the supply rather than attached to sediment, an ion exchange softener installed on the main line treats all incoming water so every tap in your Lely home benefits.
An ion exchange system’s resin has limited capacity, so correct sizing and regular maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal. The resin must be regenerated on a schedule matched to your water chemistry and household demand—important in hard, mineral-rich groundwater common around Collier County—to avoid premature exhaustion. Prefiltration for sediment also helps protect the media and maintain good flow. Mr. Pure Water can work with Lely homeowners to size, install, and maintain a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your plumbing and daily water use.
