Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, into household drinking water. You won’t be able to see, smell, or taste it, so the only reliable way to know if it’s in your tap water is through testing. In lab reports it may appear as radium-226 or radium-228. For many Lois homeowners, the preferred solution is a treatment that protects every faucet rather than only a single tap.
Radium can leach into water as it moves through certain rock and soil layers, so its occurrence often depends on local geology instead of daily plumbing habits. Because it behaves like other dissolved minerals, it can travel with hardness and other dissolved solids even when the water looks clear. If you’re in Lois and worry about long-term exposure, treating water at the point it enters the house—before it reaches any faucet—helps provide consistent protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
For whole-house radium control, an ion exchange water softener is often the single-filter style that works best. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed in that same process. When radium is present dissolved in the water rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange unit installed on the main water line treats all water entering a Lois home and keeps protection uniform at every tap.
Because ion exchange systems have limited capacity, correct sizing and regular upkeep are important for dependable radium reduction. The resin needs periodic regeneration, and system settings should match your water chemistry and household demand so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Prefiltration for sediment is often recommended to protect the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can help Lois homeowners choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your plumbing and daily water use.
