Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can appear in groundwater and sometimes in household drinking water, and it often shows up on lab reports as radium-226 or radium-228. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your Littman tap water. When homeowners are worried about long-term exposure, many choose a treatment that protects every faucet rather than just a single fixture.
Radium gets into water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so whether it shows up in a house is more about local geology than everyday use; it can travel with other dissolved minerals and hardness even when water looks clear. If you’re in Littman and want consistent protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing, treating water at the point it enters the home is the most reliable approach. A whole-house system treats all incoming water and helps keep quality steady across the plumbing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is commonly 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. When radium is present dissolved in water rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange softener installed on the main line treats every tap in your Littman home for consistent coverage.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are important to keep radium removal reliable over time. The media must be regenerated on a schedule that fits your household demand and water chemistry, and many Littman homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain flow. Mr. Pure Water can help 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.
