Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that sometimes shows up in groundwater and residential water supplies. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your tap water. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228, and when levels are a concern many Marathon homeowners choose treatment that protects every faucet instead of only a single tap.
Radium gets into water as groundwater moves through certain rock and soil types, so its occurrence depends on local geology more than daily household habits. It can travel with other dissolved minerals—sometimes alongside the moderate hardness common in the Keys—so water that looks clear can still carry dissolved contaminants. For long-term protection, treating water where it enters the house makes sense; a whole-house system gives consistent reduction for drinking, cooking and bathing across Marathon properties, whether a home uses municipal supply or a private well or cistern.
When treating radium at the whole-house level, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter style choice. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed during that same process. That approach works well when radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment, and installed on the main line it provides treatment to every tap in your Marathon home.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal. The media needs periodic regeneration and system settings should match your water chemistry and household use so the resin doesn’t become exhausted prematurely. Many Marathon homes benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain steady flow—Mr. Pure Water can help choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing layout.
