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 household water supplies. Because you can’t see, taste, or smell it, testing is the only reliable way to know whether your Lewis tap water contains radium. In lab reports it may be listed as radium-226 or radium-228. When homeowners are worried about exposure, many prefer a treatment that protects the entire house rather than just one faucet.
Radium gets into water as it moves through certain rock and soil layers, so its likelihood depends on local geology more than on household activities. It often travels with other dissolved minerals, so even clear water from a Lewis well or supply can carry it. If you’re concerned about long-term exposure, treating water at the point it enters your Lewis home is the most reliable approach. A whole-house system treats every plumbing line, keeping water consistent for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is frequently the best single-filter option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and that same process can capture radium. Ion exchange works well when radium is dissolved in the water rather than bound to sediment. Installed on the main line into your Lewis home, it provides protection at every tap.
Because ion exchange systems have limited capacity, correct sizing and regular maintenance are essential for ongoing radium control. The resin requires periodic regeneration, and system settings should reflect your Lewis water chemistry and household water use to avoid early exhaustion. Many homes benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can help Lewis homeowners choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing and usage patterns.
