Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can end up in groundwater and occasionally in household drinking water. You won’t be able to detect it by sight, smell, or taste, so testing is the only reliable way to know what’s coming from your taps. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Maitland homeowners prefer treatments that protect every faucet — not just the kitchen sink — so the whole house is covered whether you’re using water near Lake Lily or in Dommerich Estates.
Radium enters water as it moves through certain rock and soil formations, so its occurrence depends on local geology rather than household activities. In the Orlando-area aquifer that serves much of Orange County, radium can travel with other dissolved minerals, alongside the hardness that often causes scale in Maitland plumbing and appliances. If you’re thinking about long-term exposure, treating water where it enters the house protects drinking, cooking, and bathing water throughout your home, from Lake Maitland Terrace to Druid Hills.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads to swap sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and they can capture radium in that same process. When radium appears dissolved in your supply rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange softener installed at the main line treats all incoming water to provide consistent protection at every tap in a Maitland home.
Because ion exchange media has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal. The resin needs regular regeneration and system settings should reflect your water chemistry, household demand, and the hard water common in the Orlando area so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Prefiltration for sediment also helps protect the resin and maintain good flow. Mr. Pure Water can help Maitland homeowners pick and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing and daily use.
